You know, I never really bought into that North vs. South bit until I went to the North for a visit. Let me tell you, they are like two different worlds. I'm not afraid to admit that I'm a Southern Boy. I've flown the Rebel Flag while sitting on the porch drinking sweet iced tea, eating Pecan Pie and breathing in the Magnolia. I didn't really think that the people were that different, but man I was in for a shock. There were no manners, NONE. Letting doors shut in the face of ladies, especially elderly ladies? Cutting people off like crazy in traffic and then giving YOU the bird? I didn't hear Ma'am or Sir unless it was coming out of MY mouth... I can tell you, they might be real sophisticated up there, but if sophisticated means sacrificing manners and courtesy, I think I'll stay down here.
