Ouch! That hurts, but as a once-born and bred Southrener I understand
your concerns ..and your fears. But I don't think we're guilty of
massive fraud. I believe it's *small* fraud. Sort of like the Shell
Game. We've long been victims of ADD or Concept Reflux Disease. We
lock onto one issue, terrorism, God, guns or gays, and commit to
it--all else be damned. And of course we don't understand the issue.

Take the Death Tax for example. There's not a soul in my trailer park
who's for a Death Tax. It just doesn't seem fair to tax the dead.
Unless he was killed by gunshot and he fired first. See, these issues
get complicated and confusing.
