The thing is that here in the South there is no conflict for real...affirmative action has token its toll on some major cities but...anyway..our community is very diversified...you name a heritage and I am sure we have more than a couple of families from each heritage Its to bad sometimes that you can't get a "tone' from posting on here because my last post was really in good humor..which is how we have always handled the few debates we engage in on that subject...we mostly try to keep our community growing in a positive manner..we evn have built a park together...for the most part..a great community. When I first traveled to New York..I got off the GW bridge and proceeded to get totally lost in the Bronx I think it was..anyway..a NY police officer pulls in behind me and I just stop in the middle of the road..he comes to my car and as soon as I said my first few words he started laughing and told me that he would show me how to get where I needed to be..because being from Alabama (haha..it was funny) I sure didn't need to be in that area,he then shined his spotlight over to the side where we were talking and people started ducking behind the bushes..and I am sure I saw syringes go flying too...That Policeman was so nice!! He was my first impression of New York...I thought Newyorkers were supposed to be indifferent but most that I met with were great people...could have been from the South except for the accent. And this was shortly after 9-11..I know I don't like all the tolls in the NE..but PA this far is the most beautiful of all the states..where I was anyway..I have traveled to every State but the Dakotas...enjoyed most all the people I have met.
