Im gonna move on back to Mississippi. Gonna raise up my roots
and let the good times fly. They'll look at me like I'm an ol' time hippie, born with ignorance and with ignorance I'll die.

A tuff ol' fight, I've fought it before and it don't seem to ever change. I'll keep on sluggin', it's all I know, I can't change the world, but I can't let it slide.

My new neighborhood is as red as my ass. It's pukedom pretty damn solid. But they's good folks there that need some prodding and I'll guarantee I'll be there.

Wish me luck on my new endeavor as I'll need it just to survive. But I'm an ol' hippie, a veteran and others, and the dreams I will not allow to subside.

:toast: for ALL Lefties and especailly all responsible voting Lefties.

3. My entire last hundred year family history is in Mississippi.
All Progessives and all humanitarian. It's very hard for me to understand anything else.

4. How long since you've been home?
I'm in Canton....just north of Jackson. Things are better than they used to be, at least.

5. I reside in Memphis, Mississippi once removed
I've been about everywhere, for sure every Earth continent. From the Delta to the Hills I know all about Mississippi. I've never been far from her.

9. salin, you make me feel worthwhile
As you already know, many of us lefties are intimidated to the despair that you and I both feel everyday in everyway. But Mississippi here I come. A choice for sure, a necessity, absolutely. Mississippi Needs Psychoblues.

10. hey cool, where?
The better half frequently works in the Delta and the Jackson area, and his people are from the Laurel area.

Despite setbacks like the racist creep shooting up the defense plant the other day, Mississippi has changed in many ways. It isn't perfect, not by a long shot, but certainly there are progressives there and people trying to bring uplift as well as the usual rednecks muttering about the Confederate flag.

11. I didn't think this topic was appropriate for the lounge
and the response here is indicative of my accurate assessment. Somebody/ies moved this here from GD. My objective is clearly political and not "just for fun". Folk Art is also serious art. It's hard being a lowlife pean.

13. I love Vicksburg!
I stop there often on my trips back and forth from NC and Georgia. I have a routine. Check into the Econ-o-lodge, walk dog, turn TV volume up, leave dog alone and go to Maxwell's for a steak.

Got family in Waveland, and have considered living their in the past just to get closer to bigger water.

And now I live in Fargo, N.D.. Go figure...
