The south is a bastion of hypocrisy, a place where everyone goes to church praising Jesus but where divorce rates are highest. You voted that imbecile Bush into office and now you are saying the south is not responsible for him.

Anyway I woiuld like to comment more but I have to get back to work so i can subsidize the handouts we in the east have to send our southern brothers.

I see you got my point.
No bigotry on your part.
At least you don't see the south as a cartoon cutout like so many ignorant bigots.
I'm a yellow dog democrat, by the way.
(That's a traditional southern term, in case you aren't familiar with it.)


The south was looted and bankrupted after the civil war and mississippi has never recovered.
Low income, poor medical care, poor education, on average.
Poor blacks and whites suffered together.
I'm sorry if you have suffered because of their poverty.
It's just a lifestyle choice, after all.
They should have been born in the northern utopia.

I hope you're joking.

I downloaded the entire show for the last several seasons. Low res youtube videos just don't do it for me. Mininova.org is where I get my DVD quality shows.
