I am proudly from the South, and think the stereotypical prejudices that exist here are in no greater amount than the ones that exist in other parts of the country, against the southern United States. I also believe our society should have more class, that we should not glorify rappers, athletes and actors who lack personal responsibility are set bad examples for our young people. I also believe society should encourage young people to dress/act in a way which will prepare them for the real world, and not just one at the factory or at McDonalds. Perhaps if we treat them as if they'll actually have a chance to work on Wall St., some of them might actually make it there. I believe society should not frown upon or shy away from its Christian heritage. We have had that heritage in place for quite some time, and now suddenly it deeply offends a small minority of people? Get over it. Some things are larger than yourself, and of those are the history and traditions of this country. I do not believe the government is our personal fallback, and that neither Bush nor Nagin nor Blanco caused the destruction in New Orleans, nor should we angrily demand they fix it. Likewise I think people should not depend on the government for their welfare, but rather that it is our responsibility as citizens to take care of our own, on our own terms. If that is a "fratty" worldview, so be it.

Shinerbock, I wholeheartedly agree with you 100%.

Great points.
