Richard, Why don't you just point out any falsehoods or untruths in Frederick's post? Where, in the post you are in theory answering did he make fun of people from Alabama?

Do you want to adress what he actully said or do you want to blabber about what you THINK he means and/or implies? Let's see a little common sense and rational discourse.
