Since I have no one who will listen to my petty gripes, I thought I may as well post them here for all the world to see. They often vex me to my very core. Therefore...

Pedestrians and traffic
Why is it that there seems to be a trend that people are not looking out for themselves when they are in harms way? Lately, in the past two to four years, I have noticed this growing trend, to wit: when I am entering onto a street/roadway I immediately start looking all around me to be sure that I am not about to get struck by some car driver who is not looking out for me. The way I figure it, is this - car versus human, human loses. It matters not the least if the law is on my side. If I am crossing the street all legal and proper, and just because I was not paying attention, someone runs me over and either damages me or kills me, "the law" will not restore me to my previously undamaged condition or life.
I notice people who, when they start crossing, they fix their face, and eyes, only on the direction they are going and are not looking around as if everyone else is fully aware they are on the street, therefore, they WILL not get struck and hurt. What about those who run the redlight? What about those who are running from the cops? What about those who are not paying attention? Accidents happen and it behooves all of us to do our part to minimise our chances of participation in them.

South versus north
Why does it bother some northerners (yankees) whether or not we fly our Confederate flags? Why do they move here then get their panties in a twist when they see our noble banners flying from our homes, on the streets, specially on State property? After all, the main purpose the Southern States seceded in the first place was to protect the Constitutional right of the State to manage its own affairs as they saw fit, without interference from the general government. So it is fitting and proper for that glorious banner to be placed and seen on State property.
Hey, I have a thought for them. How about this, "You won, we lost, YOU get over it! And leave us alone!!"
Yet, the yankee sees nothing improper about moving here than proceeding to tell us how we should live. They have always done this. You know how it is when a smoker gives up his 'light', is OK for a while but inevitably will begin to harass those who smoke, first urging then demanding, that they quit smoking? This is the yankee attitude. If they do not get their way, they go and provoke a war. They owned Blacks as slaves. When it proved to be a more economic liability than they bargained for, they abolished it, slowly with conditions so they would not lose their investments. Then, by the 1830's-40's, they began demanding the Southern States to set their slaves free immediately, not only losing THEIR investments, but without preparing the Black race for the responsibilities and duties of free men.
So now, they not only have moved down here in mass, they do not assimilate and turn our fine smalltown cities into yankeefied versions of what they left behind. Sort of a miniature version of New York City/Boston/Chicago.
To this I use a slogan from the 1960's, "yankee go home!!!"

Well; maybe. The cause of the War Between the States was purely economic, not state's rights like we were taught. Yeah, the Yankees have always run the show because that's where the money is.

Now the Yankees are discovering that life is better in the South. Smart Yankees live here and have left their attitudes back home. They embrace Southern culture and are an important economic addition to our communities.

Here in greater metropolitan Tompkinsville, I've found the arrogant Yankees to be few and far between. Same with the nasty Redneck Crackers. Most folks hereabouts get along just fine, thank you.

The problem is CITY FOLK and their lack of consideration and honor, not Yankees.

Sir,

Without getting into a discussion of the causes of the War of Northern Aggression (as my Southern friends like to say!), too many people are ignorant of American history to distinguish the difference between the National colors of the CSA and the Battle Flag.

My personal is opinion is that flags flown on private property fall into the category of free speech. When it comes to state or federal property, the only time a confederate flag would be appropriate would be flying over a cemetery honoring CSA veterans or a museum of civil war history.

It is unfortunate, but our PC society seems to brand anyone who doesn't hate the confederate flag, as a racist. It becomes harder to make public comments in support of that right, when you can find your reputation sullied by that particular "card."

I am 54, father of three grown sons, two in the army. A native of Florida whose family ancestry goes back to Virginia in 1690 from England. I am passionate about preserving Southern rights, which all others are intent on destroying. For if Americans let this happen, who is next. As the German preacher said when it was too late, "First they came for the unions and I did not care for I was not in a union." Finally he says, "Then they came for the Jews and I did not care for I was not a Jew. Now they have come for me and there is no one to care about me." For in allowing the South to be demonised, Americans have laid the foundation of their own demise. But, it might not yet be too late to turn back that clock.
