    I have read some of these and they just plain disgust me. Having a long line of true Southern folk in me I was obvoilsy born and raised pure Southern. If these uneducated people who probably haven't even visited the South keep making "hick, hillbilly, etc." comments saying were so rascit and prejudice there no damned better people than they unfairly classify us as. You "Yanks" had better start getting true first hand experience before you classify everyone. Stupid hypocrites! And I sure hope agriculture changes---the prices. No ones going to have food if the prices are so low. People will just drop out of farming since they cant make a living. Sure, you'll have the true to heart farmers who will keep doing it because of family TRADITION. Tradition will never change (at least I hope not). If we stay true to our roots they never will. And know what? I'm proud to be Southern. I'm proud of all my Southern ancestors who marched into cannons and lead balls to defend their ways of life and to their states right. And to defend their honor and to show they didn't die in vain. I'd march again against the blue and this time we will win. [><] forever. God Bless us all(along with ol' Dixie)
