That is us(North Carolina) - we grow some tobacco also We also have too much rain if anyone wants to take some of that away. Actually, I'm not sure how many hog farms SC has, but I've heard NC is in the top 2.

Didn't he fairly recently end his Senate service? We were wondering how much being a Senator kept him going. It had to be a huge let down to stop after so many decades. Nice to hear to that he was able become a grandparent.

What have you been smoking? I guess that you are right. Black folk mourn the fact that he diddn't die 99 years, and 364 days earlier.

Ray,

From Dorothy Allison, the author of Bastard Out of Carolina (that's South Carolina):

What's a South Carolina virgin?

A ten year old that can run fast.

Who gives a rat's ass? The guy was a fossil who did as much to oppress and in effect kill black folks as any man in modern history. His legacy is crap.

As for him supposedly changing his views over the years that may be true. But he should have never have been sent to the Senate as times changed. His constant reelection says alot about the good ole boys in SC.
