To this day I am amazed at the attitude SOME teachers 'used to take' with students (our school still had 'paddling' - a loud WHACK reverberating down the hall was heard hourly). The <br />north-south intolerance' attitude made the biggest impression on me. I still feel like I have on dirty underwear when I see confederate flags. We called 'em 'rebel flags'.Brenda's Arizonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17880225110712592548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883979841111173610.post-44440976237320682762010-03-02T19:09:06.974-05:002010-03-02T19:09:06.974-05:00I'm rushing, so for these three excellent resp...I'm rushing, so for these three excellent responses, I'll wait till tomorrow. <br />Thanks!Banjo52https://www.blogger.com/profile/04342397136888422440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883979841111173610.post-38828975776614181182010-03-02T16:11:57.715-05:002010-03-02T16:11:57.715-05:00I have loved both these poems since 10th grade.
...I have loved both these poems since 10th grade. <br /><br />In 11th grade, I went to high school in Tennessee. My english teacher called me a yankee, even though TN was the farthest north I had ever lived. He asked me where I was from, so I said my birthplace, Southern California. He called me a damn stupid liberal and told me to go home. <br /><br />Some people still fight wars that never existed. Like "Incident", this has stuck with me and has defined high school to me.<br /><br />Now I wonder how much his brain weighed.Brenda's Arizonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17880225110712592548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883979841111173610.post-68482881838794449362010-03-02T14:02:09.844-05:002010-03-02T14:02:09.844-05:00The best thing to do regarding racists is to laugh...The best thing to do regarding racists is to laugh at them; they want your anger.<br /><br />You smile when you pump gas? That's interesting. I always look at the pump and watch the cents accumulate, then pump my fist at the sky when, for $30, I only get 11 gallons. Then I fart, get in my car and leave.<br /><br />For the record, I don't think you were generalization regarding that woman. Sounds like you were right on target. First impressions are usually correct, for they are thoughts unimpeded by cognitive sloppy joes. <br /><br />You should go back to the bluegrass festival. Who cares about that flag.
