Welp, I'm gonna weigh in on the Yankee thing. I just gotta.
I work on saws that belong to people from all across this great nation. I've not seen a bad Yankee, nor a bad Rebel yet. I see Americans. I see men that work hard for their money. I see good men that respect each other.
I've encountered two guys that were a complete pain in my ass, and one of them has become a friend. So, out of about 1000 different men I've done work for, only one single guy was impossible to please.
I reckon Yankees, Rebels, east coast Conservatives, and west coast Liberals are all just regular American men that want what they pay for.
Now, the reason we don't have political discussions on this site.
See what just posted about us all being everyday guys that respect each other? That would go straight out the window if we talked about politics......
