You're damned right, J.C. If we don't protect them, who will?

Hey guys...

First of all, this big-mouthed person was not online all afternoon, so I couldn't reply to this till now, because I didn't know about it.

Secondly, the question was about Neil Young and it is obvious from some of Neil Young's songs that he is not fond of the south, which I pointed out.

Thirdly, half of my family lives in Alabama; I also have a good friend there; I have good friends in South Carolina; and when I was young we spent every vacation down south, and I always enjoyed it.

I never made any references to "hillbillies, prejudice" or the like in my post. I mentioned the sign because I have seen it many times, having been to that park frequently, and it always amused me.... as it appeared rather anti-bellum.

Lester, Cricket, Screwball, I am sorry if I offended. I would not hurt any of you for the world. And please don't jump on the other three because of my lack of sensitivity.....  Mea culpa.

Your Forgiven Zella, but can I forgive someone I was never really that mad at? I guess so. ;)

Cricket,

Would you like me to remove my original post about the sign? Like I said, the sign always amused me, and after no one replied to the original question after several days I just went and tossed it in. And after re-reading it, I can see how it could be hurtful. Some times I don't think. Lots of times I don't think.... I have been on this board since March, and I am actually surprised that it has taken me this long to piss someone off, since I seem to be pretty good at it in life in general.... :-/

I don't know what happened this afternoon, re: J.C., but I suspect he was coming to my defense, bless him, because he knows I've had a hard couple of weeks....

Anyway, say the word and I will pop my original post off the board.....

The thing that gets me about the sign is that I don''t think It's that odd.  I hope everybody in the US defends thier rights not just Alabama.

I'm cool. But the southern stereotypes do get old.

Sure we can, as long as you don't ask me again what brand of snuff the neighbor dips.  ;D

Ah, Skoal or Copenhagen? ;D Seriously, where I used to work in Akron (and that is NE Ohio) snuff was an extremely popular purchase. So I wouldn't really even consider that a "southern thing..."
