Nice question, Amy..

THis is Southern Baptist Country and therefore it is very conservative. However, this is balanced out by the fact that a college resides here with over 14.000 students. THe professors are very in tune with the climate of this Country whereas the preachers here are not. AND the fact that Rush and Hannity dominate the radio stations all afternoon does not help.

However it is also a tourist area and people are here all summer from all over, Raleigh,Durham etc..as well as Florida so there is also a modicum of thinking that goes on here.. AND the college sponsers lectures, concerts etc. There is an abundance of cultural activities...

No nicer people in the world exist as one finds here.THey are the kind who bring meals if someone is sick .My builder's home was just flooded and the entire church was there to help with the clean up. Friendliness... abides.

There are very few Kerry/Edwards stickers and the Democratic headquarters was just vandalized. However, one has to give up political activities and enjoy the ambiance of wonderful people . However, it's that way with many of my friends too that religion and politics is verboten...

Guess that is why I enjoy S.I. so much. A venting and sharing place.
