Interesting Reading

I stumbled onto this page because I'm curious about Raleigh, NC. My family and I are considering a move to Raleigh but I've never visited. We would be coming from a quiet, rural area in another southern state. I have to say that after reading some of the "negative" reviews left exclusively by transplant "Yankees" (yep, I said it) I'm definitely leaning IN the direction of Raleigh. I consider all of the "cons" posted by that type to be "pros" for us. We are not a traditional family and happen to have lived all over the country (mostly southern states) but, I think Raleigh sounds really nice. I was not born in the south but, I proudly claim the south as my home. I firmly believe in GOD and our Savior Jesus Christ and no "liberal, non-traditional, artsy snob" is going to make me apologize for that. These people who need constant cultural (or otherwise) stimulation amuse me. How about getting off your butt and going for a walk in a park or reading a book (try the Bible, the greatest story ever told). ALL history of this country, including confederate history, is educational and it is OUR history as a great nation. I'm not going to feel ashamed or necessarily proud of any part of history because it is just that; history. We must learn from history. Our Civil War was a power struggle, plain & simple. Don't use it as your excuse to slander a group of people you feel superior to because you come from a soulless, scrupulous culture. With that being said; thanks to all of you who are "too cool for the South" for your reviews. Now; pack up & move back up north where you belong. Better yet, if you are that disenchanted, maybe you should leave the US all together.
