To wipe out the vestiges of the Old South is nothing short of committing cultural genocide.

Can there be a 'cultural' genocide?

I mean, either you commit genocide or you don't. I think. Hell, I don't know.


I do know I believe the culture of the Old South has much more to fear from the waves of transplants who've moved here year after year after year, decade after decade, and continue to come in droves, than it does from a handful of folks who want to erase every sign it ever existed.

Couple years ago I read something somewhere where it was estimated 1 in 3 people living in South Carolina were from up north. Pretty soon they'll outnumber us. Over time, my part of the South won't be much different than Ohio, or Pennsylvania. It'll just be hotter.

Ugh. My condolences. Seriously, it annoys the hell out of me too.

There was a sign like that on 65 South of Birmingham and North of Montgomery.

It's the same one. I've been driving by that sign my whole life and it never fails to make me laugh.
