I think this issue has become doubly confused (surprise!). If I

read you

right, you equate "non-rednecks" with "non-fans-of-the

Confederacy." Is

that your meaning?



And if you do that (please correct me if I am wrong), you probably

ALSO

equate "rednecks" (whatever your definition is) with "fans-of-the

No, not at all. I was considering both that term and the CSA symbols

as badges that should be worn voluntarily.
