I didn't really take offense to it, that stuff was 140 years ago, there are only a few groups of people who won't let it go. I just like "mashing y'alls buttons" I have been living in the south for 14 years, so I've got plenty of sand in my shoes. I have lived in Huntsville, AL and Savannah, GA as well. I'm always going to be a yankee to the natives no matter what I do, So I like to have a little fun with it. The human garbage thing was uncalled for I'll apologize for that, had'nt had my Red Bull yet when I wrote that. Imagine that, a yankee taking responsilblty for his mistake? Well sheet far, if that don't beat all you ever stepped in!
