    What, no North Carolina? Or Piedmont NC, at least. Hillbilly is a language of its own...

    Needs Tidewater Virginia, too, that's real distinct.
    I enjoy being wrong too much to change my mind.

    Neither were texas, Virginia or.....Missouri!!! Always knew you were a closet Yankee. It is a tribute to Ed's patience that he doesn't run you back to illinois on a rail.

    Don't think any of the accents there really captures your fine speakin' voice (more proof that you are a closet Yankee no doubt).

    them's fightin' words, BF!
    The human mind cannot grasp the causes of phenomena in the aggregate. But the need to find these causes is inherent in man’s soul. And the human intellect, without investigating the multiplicity and complexity of the conditions of phenomena, any one of which taken separately may seem to be the cause, snatches at the first, the most intelligible approximation to a cause, and says: “This is the cause!"

    Why wouldn't it be? It's a private organization, so it is legally allowed to selectively grant service as it wishes.

    In my opinion, I really don't give a damn if a person or organization is opposed to interracial couples, it's their business, and I don't think a stance on either side is more legitimate/beneficial than the other. (and I'm not the kind of person that likes to sit on the fence either, but this is an exception)

    I have a similar stance on Gay marriage, and that is:

    Why do you care? As in, why care about the term "Marriage", a Religious term in root. You could gain the same benefits under a different term with the only difference being that one group of religious people denies your relationship. Big Whop.

    If the problem is with Religious ideals, then maybe that religion isn't right for you. Bending Religion to suit your own beliefs is a Futile or effectively Fruitless pursuit in the way that one gains nothing by arguing over Semantics.
