It often seems to me on this list that if you are not from a bi-coastal city, or Chicago, or from Austin (where I am, now), massive shits are casually, even cavalierly taken on the south and its culture.
Look, I loathe yahoos and yokels, yadda yadda, and backwards attitudes as much as anyone - I am on this fucking list, aren't I? - but the casual dumping of steaming piles of manure all over the South, which seems a constant feature here, still grates on my nerves from time to time.I mean, do I need to appeal to some recent hipster rediscovery of Johnny Cash-type angle vis a vis the Grand Ole Opry to get people to care about it?
