i fear a simalar change when i see so many folks migrating here to nc from vermont and mass., ny and that whole liberal region. they do bring their liberal mind set with them.
but that's the way it is and the world is going that way. all we can do is enjoy what we have and adjust as we can. the world is going to get a lot worse before it gets better. acutally, we'll never see it get better in our life time.
Those people that relocate just need to be slightly "re-educated" to the way things are done down here.....good example, I own a bunch of rental houses. I didn't always have really nice rentals, but they are all new built houses now. I have a family from Connecticut that moved here a few years back. You cant fault someone for wanting to better themselves...but they carried with them that northern sue happy attitude that everyone owes them something. Soon after moving in, they immediately started picking the place apart...I started getting phone calls, this isn't right, that needs fixed. It wasn't like the refrigerator didn't work or the front door fell off...no, the brand new well water smelled like chlorine or there was a blob of joint compound stuck to a window!!
Bear in mind this was a brand new, never been lived in house...so, my response was "look folks, I will not be run mad over nit pickedy little stupid things you find every five minutes, so let me say it this way, if you decide you cannot live here I will not be upset when you move out!!!!!"
You could just see the look on their face change as what I said started to sink in. They pay on time and the phone calls have stopped ever since.
As far as things getting better...it's a matter of having to get worse first. When the economy is great the democrats raise taxes to pay for all their "free rides"...when the economy gets terrible the jobs that support all those free rides stop and then so do the free rides. The trouble with the "free ride bus" is that sooner or later it eventually stops and then you have to get out and walk.
