Why Can I Write 'south' With Some

Any Southern Nationalist Movement, Especially One That Wraps Itself In The Confederate Flag, Is Going To Be Viewed With Suspicion, Given The Historical Record.

The South Is Like My Favorite Pair Of Blue Jeans. It's Shrunk Some, Faded A Bit, Got A Few Holes In It. It Just Might Split At The Seams. It Doesn't Look Much Like It Used To, But It's More Comfortable, And There's Probably A Lot Of Wear Left In It.

I Don't Think Massification And Globalization And All Those Other 'izations' Are Necessarily Hostile To Regionalism.

I Think There's A Suspicion In The South Of People Putting On Airs. You See It In Most Successful Southern Politicians, But You Also See It In Someone Like Richard Petty, Who May Be A Multimillionaire Stock Car Driver, But He's Also Beloved Because He Has A Nice Self-deprecatory Way About Him.

Southerners Smile More Than Other Americans.
