As far as driving across a state, Florida may be redder than Mississippi!

Not out of business. But, hopefully, they changed their behavior. I received feedback that they weren't racist. Hopefully, it made a dif. Turned out someone knew me who knew them. Very small world we live in.
Should beeeeeeeeeee, sorry but i am not. Best friend yes i know lives in Mississippi. Have seen some strange looking people out there, but they are harmless, and found them honestly to be nice.
Don't laugh i'm more scared of the forests in the E.C. at night they get mighty dark, and i don't like them.
Never know a big-foot can be lurking round the corner!!
I think "GD" means either "granddaughter" or "goddaughter."
I have no fear of traveling in a red state or engaging with the locals. Most of my relatives are very conservative, Bible-believing fundamentalists while I am a nonbeliever, a Democrat and a San Franciscan (fill in stereotypes of your choice here ). But my family members and I love one another dearly and get along just fine. Wherever I go I am polite, I respect others' beliefs, and I expect to be treated with courtesy and respect in turn. I keep my politics and religion to myself and appreciate it when others do the same. It's when you cop an attitude or flaunt your differences that people get start to get testy.
The answers here by liberals are ridiculous. Half the people in the red states are liberals. So what is the point? This red state blue state crap is stupid.
