[Q] that whole south thing

Not that I'm defending any of my relatives who voted for Bush, but I actually enjoyed growing up in in the Tennessee Valley, using the cheap electricity provided by the TVA dams. Not everyone in the south or from the south is a toothless moron with an AK47 in their pick-up. In the same vein, every northerner is not an arrogant ass who has enough taxes taken out to fund public works projects in other parts of this vast country. I can tell you that highways in North Carolina are MUCH better than the highways in Tennessee, and that roadworks contractors in Boston are far savvy-er than those in the South. Highways in the South are only paved or torn-up once in many years. Here it's every year. Washington Street in Brighton was ripped-up and repaved each of the three years I lived there. Don't even get me started on the Big Dig. Forget who's better or worse. Forget who voted for whom. Just remember that I dropped my twang because no one would take me seriously otherwise here. So before you start making blanket statements about any given part of the country, please know that I am still a liberal even though I came from a place with 6 churches within walking distance of my suburban house in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains.
