In reply to the discussion: Michigan Terrorists look exactly like i expected them to look [View all]I was a much younger person when that episode happened and I always look back at it now and think of how naive I was to think the redneck personality was only in the South. Now that I'm older and have lived in four different states I realize how prejudiced my remark was. As an aside, my next door neighbors were a lesbian couple and after I got to know them better they would open up to me about how they were treated by some of the neighbors. They were considerably older than me and didn't live next door for long.
