Southern culture is not about people still pulling for the confederates It's about being respectful, curtious, and well mannered. Saying yes ma'am to every lady no matter their color, age, or demographic. It's about working hard and living free. It's about soul food, helping out a neighbor, and sharing a beer or a glass of sweet tea on the front porch at the end of a long day. It's about taking care of our family, remembering those who fought for our country (including our kin who fought for the Confederates), and sharing our wonderful peaceful lives with each other while taking our time to remember to always smile and share a good time when available. THAT IS WHAT BEING A SOUTHERN IS ABOUT!

Seriously? You've just described Missouri.

A point of pride in St. Louis is that it's a big small town - primarily because the people care and want to keep things friendly and polite. The spreading violence of the gang culture of the inner city is sadly testing that ethos, but the area is putting up a brave front.

Huh, I guess we're Southern after all...
