[SOC] Regional

[Jan]

Regional rivalries are always fun. Iowa/Minnesota exchange some very crative
insults. (creative that should have been). NY/NJ would be another. I have
direct experience also with Massachusetts and most of the rest of New England
(north of them). North/South, French/English Canada ... Have you ever noticed
that the folks who seem to hate each other the most in the world are the
ones the rest of us have great difficulty telling apart? (Ireland, Mideast,
Balkans, Turks/Greeks, Turks/Armenians, Kurds/Turks, Kurds/Arabs, India/
Pakistan, Ruwanda, etc., etc.) The really profound differences seem to
get accommodated sooner (take men and women, for instance!). Oh, well, just
a thought. 73 Jan KF0Z
