Coronabarb. Very well said and I totally agree. Folks may not understand, but with most of my heritage being those Scots who were shipped here, whether as indentured servants in Mass, or who went into agriculture or privateering in Charleston, I was really hurt by yesterday's vote. I SO wanted to see them achieve their long sought independence.
Last night's jiving was just a bit of playful teasing. Having spent many years driving and flying to towns throughout the U.S., it's the difference that help make the U.S. so incredible. I spent many month's driving throughout Texas and Oklahoma. Though the terrain and foods were different (thank goodness), it was seeing the Davy Crocket statue in the center of the capitol rotunda and the list of names and where they came from at the Alamo that made me aware of just how alike we are.
