Incident at an Antique Store

[Wild Bill]

No problem Gene.

As for Rsmyth, you have your culture I have mine. You see it as oppression and I see it as this country as it was set up under the Constitution. Read Lincoln's 1839 speech. He enslaved the Southern whites and freed the black slaves--so long as they stayed in the South. Then you modern Yankees condemn the Founders for not solving a problem that turned out to be more complicated than you ever thought. As a nation we have yet to solve that.

I find your hateful opposition to the South as distasteful as you find the Rebel flag. The statement that you love the South, the food, the scenery, the people, is much the same as what Northern people say when they claim they like blacks. It all rings a bit hollow. Remember Jim Crow started in the North and D'Toqueville thought Illinois' black code to be the most vicious of all the states.

Not everyone thinks as you do. But your moral superiority is touching.
