I just wanted to toss out somethin' for everyone to think about. Feelin' philosophical I guess. I've noticed in the 'entertainment' industry in the last few years, there's always references to 'Southern born', 'the South's gonna rise again...', and then Alan Jackson singing that old Alabama song on the 40th anniversary of the ACM, 'Southern born, Southern bred". When he sang that song, it really got me thinking. How strong is that legendary feeling of being from the 'deep South'? It's always fascinated me how some people seem to cling to their roots while others don't give a damn - which I think is just wrong.
When I was in Scotland and Ireland a few years back, I felt 'home' as soon as we got there and I heard the accent and saw those rolling hills. But when I hear talk of the South, or get together with folks from around here who feel the same way I do about life, it makes me proud of who we are and what we do. But I can't help wondering what our future holds. For those of you South of the 49th, is the South really gonna rise again one day? I'd love to devote more time to the Western Separatist movement here, if I had it. As it is, I can't get the things done I'd like to now. But it bothers me and weighs on my mind that me doing nothing, is also doing nothing for the future of my children and their children.
Tell me what you think. Don't hold nothin' back, 'twouldn't be our way now would it? Thanks in advance. :cboy:
