without getting jumped on for "south bashing" No one ever does that, right? But then again I don't care. I've posted about it and read the responses and never once felt like I wasn't allowed. I don't feel like I'm entitled to post things without others disagreeing. I think those who feel so slighted about the opinions of others about the south should step back and ask themselves why they feel that way. Maybe it's the sting of the truth.
