Not everybody who loves guns is a natural-born killer. Not everybody who cherishes a Civil War flag is a racist. Not every Texas woman has bad taste and big hair. Not every environmentalist wants to sit around campfires singing John Denver songs and sipping from a canteen of pure mountain spring water.
Trouble is, extreme actions of a few often distort the true picture of the majority.
We struggle with labels that aren't really there. For example, most sensible people appreciate the South and much of its heritage. Respect for one another. Catching lightening bugs in a mason jar. Borrowing a cup of sugar from a neighbor and paying back two.
