Hmm....

I hope you know I was kidding.

I don't give one shit less where someone is from, what color they are,
or which God they subscribe to.

Including none.

Living and growing up in a military town with (at one time) with FIVE
bases here, you can only imagine what a melting pot we have here for
citizenry.

Amazingly in our area of the south, we laugh like hell at each other's
race, creed, etc., once we get to know one another. Just low brow
folks having some fun. Pretty much none of us around here care what
stripe anyone else is. With all the many generations of war brides,
all the "I was based overseas brides", and the huge latino population
(almost 70%!) none of us notice mixed race couples, mixed national
couples, etc.

Where I grew up in da Bronx, the neighborhood kids were a mix of Micks,
Krauts, Squareheads, Pollocks and Wops. We all had a lot of fun together.

Around here, we try to celebrate the differences of one another, not
dwell on them.

HOWEVER, we have noticed that with our imports from other states, we
are having to learn political correctness, special awareness and needs
of others that aren't like us, and that does indeed include curbing
our joking references to the North/South unpleasantness of a century
and a half ago.

**** 'em if they can't laugh at themselves!

Gotta tell ya, Texas was a lot more fun 25 years ago.

I try not to think much of the politicians and their agendas. They do
not represent me, have not represented me, and probably never will.

I wish others didn't listen to them and get so rabid about their
beliefs, thinking any of those jackasses might care about them.

But some folks are still so stupid they they believe the rotten spew
political candidates vomit at will to get their way. And the
politicians know just how to exploit those people. Sad.

Most politicians are whores and whore mongerers.
