Default What an a$$hole !!

Posted By: Marty Ogelvie

I didn't get to read this article until I got home. I can't follow tinyurl from the office. 

When I read the article, I didn't think what an A$$hole, I thought what a lost sole.  I grew up in the Mountains of Tennessee in the 60s and 70s and Powells remarks were very similar to what I heard many times as a young man but they were not the remarks that stuck with me.  The values I held and still do were taught to me by my parents.  They didn't teach me to hate and they didn't teach me look down on others.  I never heard racial slurs from them and therefore I never used them.

The ironic thing is, I have a friend from Ohio.  He is a State Trooper and I can hear him saying those very words that Jake Powell spoke in 1937 and this is the 2008.  It's not a Southern thing and its not a 1930s or 1950s thing. It's a values and morals thing.
