Reply #6: I can understand your sensitivity. [View All]

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

We bash the South, and Texas in particular, quite often. I'm guilty myself. And quite frankly, I think the bashing is often quite well deserved.

Still, I hope that even despite the bashing you do realize that none of us DUers think that every single person in your state is dragging their knuckles on the ground and hoping for the Confederacy to rise again. I also hope you realize that we not only recognize your existence and empathize that you have to deal with being surrounded by uber-conservatives, most of us consider our Southern Brethren to be our most valuable assets. We know how hard it has to be to be liberal down there, and quite frankly, I admire not only your courage, but also your ability to simply think for yourself and not be cowed in to being like everyone else.

That all said, there's no fucking way in hell I can cheer for the Astros thanks to Roger Clemens (see above - I'm a Bay Stater and Sox fan). Of course, I'm not cheering for the White Sox either. I'm just hoping there's a stadium implosion with the Bush family on hand.
