Bears repeating, I have said this before.
I am, I think, more or less and give or take and as increasingly appropriate, a rebel. I speak my mind (more and more... I'm not really as forthright as I'm sometimes told I am just on the basis of my written profile page). I try to think things out for myself.
I am not a Rebel, and want nothing to do with the Stars and Bars, with neo-Confederacy, etc.- not just because I was born in New York, not just because I think States' Rights (itself at best, if that, a partway step to self-management) was for most people a rationalization and not a reason for separation and sedition during the actual war itself, though that goes that bit off-topic... there are people interested in the new movement who I like, political beliefs aren't a test for friendship with me (if they affect how one treats other people in practice, one of us is likely to have a talk with the other, the more that shows up, yes...).
