Wow, it seems as if we'll have another mini-Civil War, Bert. This is, what, our third? SOUTHERNERS RULE! SCREW YOU YANKEES! And we're not rednecks/hicks. There really aren't any, in this day and age. Maybe you should leave the second-most boring state (the first being Wyoming), and come down here for some serious southern hospitality. But rednecks and hicks aren't there anymore.
