The DLC's Failed Southern Strategy and Understanding Southern Society

[RobertEarl]

15. Interesting, but too long

I think I get your gist, tho.

My feeling, extracted from years of activism, workingman, and Church going past, is that, like your debutante idea, there are 'special' people in the south, who if they conform to the PTB, are planted high on the pedestal.

I, being one who has not been planted but who is a rolling stone, have rolled against the types we agree are pedestally placed by the society.

Some of it goes back to the slavery past which was most definitely pedestal orientated. Some has to do with the education levels which are so vast in extremes.

Plus, if you are a bully, it is easier to get around down here. Or at least used to be. That is changing.

For the future, the internetal, educational and societal melting pot is bound to shake things up a good bit. Obama taking NC in 2008 was a sign.

Sorry for the new words, I just couldn't help myself.
