The South: America's Jock Itch
Now, I'm not one to condemn the United States, but I have to say that when I came across this site I was not only taken aback by the statistical relevance but also experienced a revelation of sorts.

You see, the south - and by south I really mean the Uber-Christian, shotgun toting', hillbilly folk of the Midwest and deep south who assert that they are the only real Americans in this country - has contributed to America's culture and well being in a positive light.

Of course, I am referring to the great historical and contemporary achievements of the south - country music, the Civil War, an increasing influx of illegal immigrants, vast quantities of corn and wheat, and the passion of college sports surpassed only by their domination over the physical abilities of black athletes while maintaining a crippling education system.

I blame the south's ancestor's for the present day dismal shape of American culture and politics - if only they had understood that enslaving people is wrong - and instead of spending their hard earned (and by hard-earned I am referring to their fantastic ability to drive out Native Americans and claim a section of land for their own) money on more slaves, used it to pay for the labor they were so graciously given.

I guess the Christian Coalition is right.... Americans (I mean white men with land) are the sole heirs to His Kingdom and we must do everything we can to make His (or our interpretation of) vision a reality.

So we, as Northerners, are forced to pay high taxes while reaping few of the benefits all because America has an red itch in its crotch and has to continually buy ointment to cool it off!

We, as Americans, can do better - honestly! C'mon Forrest and Bubba, I know you guys can do something worthwhile for your country.... I believe in you!

Also, in an unrelated post, I would like to refer you to AIM Screen name "Jakified" question: Is assisted suicide unconstitutional? Expect a response shortly, Jake.
