There is a world of difference between the genteel, aristocratic South and the hardscrabble, bootstrappin', knock-em-up-in-ya world that is Texas. I'll ask that you respect, if not appreciate, the difference. Hey Tex, you claim to be from the tough world of Texas......but let me just say that I took in a Rangers game last Fall, in the new park in Arlington. Wow!, what a stadium. We had seats behind 3rd base, 2nd level. None of this stuff of going up and getting your Bud; NOOOooooooooo, some waitress gets you order, transmits it wirelessly and brings it to you. Call me crazy, but going to the ballpark and having your hot dog and beer brought to you sounds more "Aristocratic" than "hardscrabble" to me. I suspect any tractor you purchase will have an all leather interior, with 12 speaker surround sound. Yep, I reckon it don't get more hardscrabble than that. ca

As a Southerner with Southern roots going back to the early 1700's I support buck's insistence that one discriminate between a Southerner and a Texan. I know that it is hard for a Northerner to see the difference, as to a Northerner or Californian, we "all sound and look the same." Anyway, we fought our wars together (the Revolutionary War) and that unfortunate misunderstanding, the Northern Incursion, but the Texans fought that damned Mexican war and won! They deserve recognition for that. And we in the South don't really want to be associated with that Mexican war, neither. Who knows? It may not be over!
