[Big Five-0-]

Everyone is entitled to an opinion. I had ancestors on both sides in the Civil War. I am proud of being from what I consider the "South". I believe in manners including opening doors for women, saying "thank you" and "please" and I am VERY conservative about the way I feel about gun rights and other hot button issues (eg...homosexuality and abortion). I also pray that the devil in South Carolina who killed those poor people at that church gets the chair for what he's done. I don't apologize for identifying with the south though, no matter how much brow beating or finger pointing someone wants to do trying to shame me for doing so. I am also proud of being a U.S. citizen and I've had family who have participated in World Wars II and Korea. You can be from the South, proud of it, and proud to be from the U.S. and not be treasonous to your country. Like I said, opinions are like buttholes, everyone has one. Some just sound off more than others.
That's all of my rant......

Very well said papagrit.
