Redneck is in common usage as an acceptable word to use. I did not use it as insult--calling one of our lovely conservative posters here a redneck or anything remotely similar. I used it in a descriptive way, to describe a family in a film. I did a google search (my very favorite) and came up with 72,700 hits looking for million dollar baby review redneck. I only looked at the first page--I'm not asserting that every one of the 72,700 pertains to that film review--but the first page does. Obviously, your attempt to criticize me for using a word used newspapers and magazines in many many reviews of the film I was writing about is just a cheap shot. I am so tired of this kind of behavior. If you really care, why don't you contact all of those publications and the reviewers specifically and tell them how offended you are. google.com

It is only generally acceptable for conservative people themselves to call themselves redneck, unless you are invited to do so. Message 20782137

Message #537 from Grainne at 10/5/1996 10:29:00 PM Maureece, I'm right here, wandering around looking at sunsets and listening to music and musing about my life and what my next adventure will be. Travel, a wild love affair, total fulfillment, who knows? That has taken most of my time and all my energy lately, and I have to say that my feelings are just too intense and wonderful to spend much time at SI when there are cell phones and email and mental telepathy and rainbows and mountain tops and fantasies to play out every day. When I do drop by I'm just always writing cryptic but revealing love poetry to my very sweet guy anyway!! Or ending up in the wonderfully exciting lap of my dreams without any knickers on!! Just streaming on; stream along with me, Maureece!!! Streamer Girl/The Cadet!/Christine R.D. As you can see by this old post, Granny is a very rational and down to earth woman who needs to be looked after by gentle, considerate men like ourselves. You gotta admit she's got feelings. Seeing how she has me on ignore I wonder if she will send me a message via mental telepathy. Jim
