As a lifelong Texan, I can poke fun at Yankees with the best of them, but those were our Yankees that were attacked on September 11th. Nobody gets away with that.

As a damnyank, thank you sir.

Even as a teen in metropolitan Atlanta in the 70's, I had an aversion to all those rebel flag wavin', Yankee hatin', bretheren of mine. I not ashamed of the South, but I have always considered myself an American first, anything else second, esp growing up while Iranians were holding our people hostage. This separatism, which is only regarded by the smallest of minorities, (I have never heard any Southerner seriously speak of this), is only for those who have nothing better to do than sit around and dream up things like that. It's Northerners, and Westerners, Midwesterners and Southerners, and others, that make up this great nation. I think everyone, coast to coast, has finally realized that now.....
