Comments on: I (bleeping) apologize. http://onthewayhere.com/2009/02/i-bleeping-apologize/ Some thoughts on why we are who we are or at least think we are.

Looks to me that the red states are primed to succeed again over issues not unrelated to why they started it the first time. If they do, I just hope they wear those reenactment costumes.

One thing that always stands out in my mind when I think about the Atlanta Journal-Constitution is that it has a (bleeping) freakin' fantastic ability to insert the Civil War into virtually any story, at least once every day -- if it isn't the subject of the a story all by itself. However can a society hang on so tightly to being losers? You'd think the losing side would want to forget that part of history, fold that flag and put it away, stash it in the back of the museum and let dust collect on it, let the moths eat it. You know, I have ancestors who fought what they thought was a good fight, but they were losers. They needed to get over it. We left behind not only Georgia, but Atlanta, too. Only to live in Florida (Miami!) where (bleeping) bad schools and (bleeping) shocking corruption and (bleeping) criminal enterprise are legend and rampant. And where the (bleeping) Miami Herald never misses an opportunity to insert Fidel Castro into at least one story every single day (sigh). And probably will for at least the next 140 years.
