Shajen,
I can live, quite happily, without anything you mentioned (most of which I do live without).

As for what has the South done to me? My response would belong in politics, but I am sure you can figure out how a California liberal might answer.

For an oot response, the South has unfortunately produced Jeff Foxworthy, the Blue Collar Comedy Tour, GitRdone, Nascar, the KKK, Cracker Barrel, Get Crunked Rap music, Lil Jon, a celebration of ignorance, the worst socio-economic disparity in the country, Britney Spears, people who watch Everyone Loves Raymond, overalls, an acceptance of intelligent design as a viable scientific theory, Master P, pimp cups, platinum teeth, higher healthcare costs due to obesity, and Toby Keith.

I can come up with a lot more, this is just off the top of my head.

Yeah, there are some [censored] up people down this way, I ain't gonna lie.

There are also some good people down here. I'm not a fan of judging an entire region based solely on the characteristics of a smallish group of morons.

Regarding the flag and the symbol:

I don't give a damn what other people do, as long as it doesn't effect me or my way of life. What they do on their own time/dime is their business. (Did I get the thread back on track?)
