4. There are Southern DUers?
I thought everyone in the south voted Bush and barely had working toilets, much less internet access.

Good one.

3. You know, if we could just get all our guns pointed in the same
direction, at the same time, we could take over the world. We are right, we just don't play well together. Fuck this.

6. Yeah, that's the point.
I know how much people with "better than thou" attitudes keep the left from working together well. It won't hurt for them to know it. Yes, there are working class people in the south and midwest who have a lot to offer the movement.

8. I'm blue collar, and I don't care if they patronize me.
Their hearts are in the right place, even if they don't want to brush shoulders with the people they are helping. I really don't want to hang with them. No same frames of reference, no shared experience, no inside jokes, screw that. I'd like to shake their hand, thank them for not losing their soul, and they go back to their lunches, and week-end parties in the Hamptons, and I'll go back to bowling, snowmobiling, and, and bitching to my sisters on the phone, and bugging my big brother to slow down before he has a coronary.
