How on Earth did this make the front page? I mean, it's not that I ever get tired of seeing Massachusetts Yankees and California carpetbaggers use a magazine named after my hometown to tell us Southrons what they demand that we be, but I am somewhat surprised to see it here, of all places. Perhaps I shouldn't be.

I just came here to say what an excellent piece of writing this was. I won't even dignify the rest of your comment, and honestly having read it here saddens me.
