Thread Name: Redneck is an insulting word
Subject: RE: Redneck is an insulting word
Mary: Ain't nothin' redneck 'bout none of them stuff. Believe me, I know the difference 'tween rednecks and country of mountain folk (of which I hold membership...).

All the stuff you memntioned, I can relate to 'cause I'm a folkie mountain kind of man and I'll have to admit to going thru a period of my life that was purdy rednecky, but I pulled out in time. Whew!
And a btter person fir it! But I don't recommend the little experiement that I put myself though and was danged lucky, blessed or whatever to get out of it...

Meanwhile, alternative medicine, mountain crafts, mountain music and above all, spendin' time with the Lord, is where it's at!!!
