"Spirit merges with matter to sanctify the universe. Matter transcends to return to spirit. The interchangeability of matter and spirit means the starlit magic of the outermost life of our universe becomes the soul-light magic of the innermost life of our self." - Dennis Kucinich, candidate for the U. S. presidency

It doesn't really happen in the west. From Gloucester to Penzance, over as far as Swindon, there's no real enmity between the towns. A spot of rivalry between Plymouth and Bristol in football, but nothing compared to the City/Gas divide.The genesis of the "evil Finn" concept- Evil, evil FinlandComment

Boddington, did you ever look at the electoral map that visualized the results of the Gore and Bush elections?
The South solidly voted for baby Bush.
Anyway, most definitely yes, to some extent, there is still a regional split here in the United States. White Southerners still think they should be proud that their ancestors tried to destroy our nation and rip it apart.
Of course, our Yankee ancestors initially used emancipation of slaves as a political tool in foreign relations, not out of goodwill towards blacks.
Neither side can claim to be virtuous, since the North used abolition as a higher-moral sounding justification to destroy the Confederacy. However, I'm thankful the Confederacy lost the Civil War.
The South used states' rights as a higher-moral sounding justification to preserve white supremacy and slavery.A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.Comment
