I think it goes without saying that there is some a fundamental difference in the understanding of "labor" between the "South" and the "North". (And before I get pilloried, I was born and raised in Georgia, and still live there/here.)
My current neighbors, who have been my neighbors of my family for 20+ years, are: (1) a teacher and (2) an employee of SRS (the Savannah River Site). In other words, they are both government employees.
And they are staunch Republicans, with the "common" characteristics, e.g., they're "not sure" if the President is an American. Why? What is the difference? I assume (correct me if I'm wrong), that most such governments employees up "North" are much more pro-Union, pro-Democrat.
They are good people. I am gay, and they know as much. They - as things always go - are okay with homosexuality (perhaps and probably because it is now personal for them).
Bottom line, why is there such a difference? These folks should be Ed fans, but they're miles from that. And no, it's not some educational difference. I just don't get it...
