Well I also am American first and foremost, and I really couldn't care less if your from the south or the north, doesn’t make any difference to me...I happen to be from the far north, and my family always has been, started out on the east coast with the first pilgrims, and then just kept heading west till we got here, and that’s where they stayed I guess...so I am a yankee then I guess, but that’s just fine with me...I could never live in the south after living up here I don't think...for one thing it's WAY to hot...and I couldn’t live without at LEAST a few subzero highs and a couple of blizzards every year!!
