It's sad the stereotypical view some have of the Deep South. Quality of life
is just fine...in fact you don't even know what you are missing. We may talk a
bit slow but are educated just the same. We don't drink the kool-aid
much...usually it's just sweet tea. Don't much believe in big government and
the over taxation that goes with it. Small business is alive and well. We
find honor in "In God We Trust" and our Constitutional Rights. We enjoy the
smell of barbecue cooking on the grill and burning gunpowder....
No apologies..
