Melly, as I said I am basing my posts on what is written. If you are familiar with analogies and simlies, then by all means post something that reflects your knowledge. I don't care where you were born or where you were educated. Your posts read the same. ;-)

And with that I am off to bed. I apologize if you feel I am being condescending--that was not my intention. I am equally exacting with any who compose sloppy posts. G'day all. :-)

Mellysummer,
You're absolutely right. There is no shame in growing up in a country environment. I have learned to utilize my time alone fly fishing for steelhead, trout, and salmon. Church for me is nothing less than a Sunday spent swingin' flies for steelhead. I work a 9-5 job as an executive on my company, but there's nothing better than an afternoon hauling in lunkers to make you appreciate nature. This is how I spend my time recharging my batteries for the next week ahead. While I grew up as a redneck, I would much rather spend my time figuring out how to catch fish than waste my time thinking up ways to hate those that differ from me.

:::I have met some people who live in rural areas that are interested in education, but the majority of them don't seem to be and they proudly admit it. It just seems to be a different way of life for them. That's why a lot of them take jobs that involve some type of physical labor...
Melly, do you know how to read? Why would anyone assume you are black? The only thing I think about you is that you talk out of your ass. Anyone can do that, no matter what color their skin or what their socio-economic level. Classism IS analogous to racism. It varies only in its degree, and even then, not by much. -

The interest is up and the Stock Market's down and you only get mugged if ye go downtown
I live back in the woods, you see, just the Woman and The Kids, and The Dog and Me.
I got a shotgun, a rifle, and a four-wheel drive and a Country Boy Can Survive.
Country Folks can survive.
I can plow a field all day long
I can catch catfish from dusk-till-dawn
I can skin a buck and run a trout line and a country boy can survive.
I got a good friend in New York City he never called me by my name just "Hillbilly".
my Grandpa taught me how to live off the land
and his taught him to be a businessman
but he was killed by a man with a switchblade knife
for $43 my friend lost his life
I'd like to spit some Beechnut in that dude's eyes and shoot him with my ol' .45
cuz a country boy can survive
country folks can surviiiiiive
cuz you can't starve us out
and ye can't make us run
cuz we're them ol' boys raised on shotgun
we say Grace and we say ma'am if you ain't into that, we don't give a damn.
We come from West Virginia Coal Mines and The Rocky Mountains, and The Western Skies
and we can skin a buck, we run a trout line and a Country Boy can survive
country folks caaaan suuurviiiive

ain't too many things these ol' boyz cain't do.
I got a shotgun, a rifle, and a .45
