Part 2 of living in the south

Ok with any good things there are bad things

1. There is still some prejudices hate to say it but there are you cant leave some things in the past and that is one of them I still hear at the country gas station down the road the N word I cant stand that word but sadly its used here to this day


NOW LET ME SAY ITS NOT ALWAYS LIKE THIS BUT IAM JUST SPEAKING FROM EXPIERENCE AND MY OWN EYES AND Ears

2. Everything move slowier in the south the people, the jobs, the thoughts about certain things
Example: Thoughts about the ecomony, or the president, or Ipods even you dont see many older individuals with Ipods or computers they just dont know how to deal with them

3. Everyone in the south is a (should i dare say it) Republican GASP!
And you can not I repeat CAN NOT change there views on a black man trying to get into the white house shutter to think....
Laslty, in closing my favorite Reinactors God love them
They think they are going to change a 150 years old war sorry hate to tell them but nope General Lee will always surrendor and you cant change that no matter how many times a year you go out and fight it

But with all our shortcomings do i love living in the south HELL YES
More things I love the sense of community among people the neighbors that know you by name and the people at your local store that knew your grandfather and want to tell you stores everytime you go in

One more thing i love about the south how people will lift up there fingers to wave to you when they see you you never see that up north they usually are flicking people off up there I guess thats all i have to say but dont get me wrong I absoultly love the south i was born under a dixie flag and by god i will die under one.
