But that would be a great socio-economic discussion - how would my life be different if we had just let the South secede? No doubt it would be much better: hip hop would still be good, no Nascar, no KKK, and no more of those assholes who think they've accomplished something because they came from Texas (that includes Texas college football). And I can't think of any Southern contribution that benefits my life: no need for grits, of pork rhines, or . . . wait a minute, is the Monte Cristo a southern sandwich? If so, that alone is a legitimate reason to put up with the South in the Union.<BR/><BR/>Stay sweet -Chehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00359059465981060949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8928452877199895706.post-76366595534940353192008-11-12T12:40:00.000-08:002008-11-12T12:40:00.000-08:00I think you got it wrong.

Instead of focusing on rednecks you could have generalized this to the entire South. The South fucking sucks and NASCAR is proof, along with crunk music, Michael Vick, and George W. Bush, all great products given us by the South. Keep it up though, I enjoyed it. <BR/><BR/>Sincerely, <BR/><BR/>A Yankee from up NorthAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8928452877199895706.post-86240310613303348332008-11-12T06:26:00.000-08:002008-11-12T06:26:00.000-08:00I will agree 100% with you that Nascar is NOT a sp...I will agree 100% with you that Nascar is NOT a sport, and boring as hell to watch. However, it has been proven that Nascar drivers have some of the best reaction time amongst any athlete of any REAL sport. So, I guess Nascar is a spectator activity run by quick actioned semi-athletes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8928452877199895706.post-64211143199201906642008-11-12T01:48:00.000-08:002008-11-12T01:48:00.000-08:00adding to the non-sports videos: http://www.youtub...adding to the non-sports videos: <A HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAPXGuRIXsA" REL="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAPXGuRIXsA</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
