BTW, I was watching a news program about some of the ivy league schools, specifically Harvard and the professors are handing out A's like candy even if they are not deserved-sorry not impressed with the ivy leaguers and it seems that employers are starting to feel the same way too (at least according to the news program). I know that A&M didn't hand me an A, I earned them.

I wasn't implying that anyone was less intelligent than anyone else, nor that southerners cannot get into ivy leagues... because I work damn hard for my A's in school as well. I definately do not attend an ivy league school. But it is an honor just to be admitted to one (atleast in the north it is). I guess the true issues lie in each areas rich history...education was more heavily emphasized in the north. But anyways, I was only posting a reply to someone else's holding that because we have a "thick: accent and talk too fast...that we are unintelligent.
