18. LOL Okay.
She was born in southern Appalachia/eastern Tennessee. Her accent is, um, pronounced. She loves country music, and boasts, "I come from a long and distinguished line of white trash."

She also loves classical music and opera, appreciates fine art, breathes liberal politics and is more lefty than me.

Yessir, that's my baby :)

Go rent the movie The Real Dirt on Farmer John, and watch the bit about his farm during the 1960s.

19. redneck permaculturist leftist hippie dirt farmer checkin' in here.
Let's just say I 'resemble' a hippie in more ways than one...

:smoke:

But I also drive a rusty F250 sometimes. I own guns, and enjoy target shooting with them. I consider new Carhartts and a clean shirt to be 'dressing up.' My dogs have the run of the farm, and we're all happiest when we're all there, and playing or working in the dirt.

:hi:

I campaigned actively for Obama...

:fistbump:

...though now that he's president elect and beginning to name his cabinet, I worry about Holder's stance on the 2nd Amendment and the War on Drugs, plus Hillary's hawkish past, plus Daschle's cautiousness on health care progress. My 'moderate' hopes for the next four years would include the complete decriminalization of marijuana, the beginning of a green-industrial revolution spurred-on by public works projects, support for organic farming in the countryside and union jobs in the cities (and vice-versa too), vigorous enforcement of the endangered species act and all toxics laws (Clean Air, RCRA, Clean Water, etc.), and universal single-payer healthcare. And that's just a start, off the top of my head.

I prefer Twangy Progressive, however.

Or Greenie Goat Roper.

Or Space Cowgirl.

23. Lots of the guys I grew up with...
Edited on Thu Nov-20-08 02:55 PM by Withywindle
Long hair, pickup truck, gun rack, hound dogs, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Jack Daniels...militantly pro-union and anti-racist. Fully accepting of their buddy with the boyfriend. Fiercely worshipful of strong women. Pro-veteran, anti-war. Anti-establishment, self-educated, smart and snarky.
