Exactly. It is nice that people tend to be friendlier here -- the general demeanor of the North is much more icy and cynical than Southern hospitality -- but that friendliness can sometimes seem so naive and shallow given the ignorance that persists everywhere.
lol i was making that last night, then i saw him write that post...

i don't have a confederate flag, nor would i ever fly one because of the racial association, but ask anyone who does and see how much of it is about race and how much of it is about state rights.
Great post!
