              I haven't the foggiest what that means, so I'll take it as a compliment.

              Thank ye, Victor.

              And Alabama and Georgia aren't all bad.

              Missippissi sure is.

                  • So, the age of a culture defines its value?

                    I take it the Huns are propper culture, whereas Islam is an upstart.

                        -No, but cultural achievements can't be evaluated for several hundred years. Many good things were not propperly appreciated in their times.

                            • The South is still living its history, even as it is hurled into the Now. It must be very schizophrenic being a Southerner.

                              That description of the South sounded quite nice.
