Only federal troops arresting the legislature kept them from voting to secede in that late unpleasantness properly called the War of Northern Aggression. In my nearly six decades, though, I've seen Maryland become the land of the government worker and the home of the tax feeder. It's right up there with, say, Massachusetts and New Jersey in most ways. Except that the folks here keep electing only Democrats, while the aforementioned states' voters at least tried the other side (with admittedly mixed results). Besides, we *do* use the term, "y'all" down here. So all y'all Yankees can know you're not in Kansas anymore. ;-)Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08015544320906146949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-62018707278923405412010-11-24T13:36:15.012-05:002010-11-24T13:36:15.012-05:00"I know people don't think of Maryland as..."I know people don't think of Maryland as 'the South'"<br /><br />But, if you're smart, you won't say that in front of a Marylander.JohnOCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-44010856269005481152010-11-24T08:12:43.331-05:002010-11-24T08:12:43.331-05:00You are not in The South unless the state in quest...You are not in The South unless the state in question had a star on the Third National.
