The main occupation of
the folks around here seems to be hating other people who are not just like them.IOW, white Conservative Christian Southerners.

One woman, in 10 minutes, informed me she hated the following, without me saying a word: French people (and her son hates them too), Yankees who should have stayed up north instead of meddling with the south. That's one word amnyankees.

And she was also trying to get in the Daughters of the American Revolution. Figure that out. I thought they were the Over The Hill Mickey Mouse Club. Told me some of her relatives had "good judgment, they settled in South Carolina."

She probably wishes she had her own slaves. She folds her arms, rolls her eyes, and gives this self-satisfied smirk when she makes these statements.

These people haven't gotten over the Civil War, for God's sakes.

Then she talks about how stupid kids are and how they need an education and her son (the one who hates French people) is getting a Ph.D. AND SHE NEVER SHUTS UP!!!

She works at the college I'm going to for non-credit courses at night. i avoid her now.




A man I bought some stainless steel scrap from told me god answers prayer b/c some little boy got cured of melanoma. He also told me that "Mexican is a vulgar language, but Spanish is classy."
