I don't think us southerners have "a more delicate constitution" or need to be selective about the topics we comment on...
From my view it has nothing much to do with differing opinions between people from "north" or South".. It has more to do with a new constitution that has been introduced stealthily by new age politicians that will soon be passing laws that will remove our old rights of free speech..
By the time I`m dead,my kids will not know the difference!!
For me,that is a scary proposition.
I`m not a conspiracy theorist by any means but I can really see how things have changed from when I was a youngster.. and not for the good IMO.
It`s about time we all stand up and say what we really feel and think... Sod the consequences!!
