Hey T.DJ, I hope your trek is as interesting as you anticipated. Wait 'til you get down to Gods Country (Ouachita Mountains) and it'll really get good. Be safe.

Hi Fossil.....have been in the MO and AR Ozarks for over 4 days now, having a great time, lovely people, staggering scenery, paddled the Buffalo, walked the trails and at 2.15 this afternoon I was literally the highest person in the state. Heading south to your neck of the woods and the Rock tomorrow.....

But when Bill got his tail kicked after his first term, it got their attention. They both dropped that Yankee, hippie, persona and became "one of us", and even when Bill was doing his catin' around while governor the general thought was "so what".

After we got them retrained I think most people were well pleased with them. I realize I'm gonna get jumped on for Posting this but some people must take a negative line on any subject. So bring it on

Lol, I'm pretty sure most Yankees are thrilled you're claiming his behavior as coming from the South.

He was about as toxic as Obama will be in 2016 to other Democrat candidates.
Yes, the nation had their fill in 2000 of Bill Clinton's lack of morals.

The question is.............did the people of Little Rock feel the same as the rest of the nation in 2000 or were they still in a " love fest" over the Clintons.

It's pretty funny how you just have to wait a decade and suddenly everyone forgets smuggling FBI files, Travelgate, campaign fundraising scandals with Buddhist monks and Chinese nationals, giving China rocket technology, the Waco fiasco, ignoring foreign affairs and terrorist threats, and buys your line about how "you" reformed welfare instead of having it forced upon you by Republicans, who also balanced the budget, eh? Now, he's suddenly the "elder statesman" of the Democrat party, LOL.

Its easy....all minorities like them, but if your white, its like 60% who likes them. For the most, their still pretty popular in little rock area, the area has a good balance in diverity in its population. Almost 50-50 in Majority and minority population ratio. Its the areas were the minority population is very low to non existence, that may be more conserative in theur likeness of the two.
