It's far better we understand who we are, and strive to improve from there.

Let's not get into promoting something we are not and be what we are at any given time.

Wrinkle the Sage eh?  


I like it, it suits you.

I'm enourmously pleased, grasshopper.

That was for those who think we are not hics, or are ashamed that we may be.

But, compared to what?
I've personally met genuine bluebloods who would be challenged in lacing their own shoes.

Yet, I'm perpetually impressed with people of this region who demonstrate incredible skill, innovation and whole heartedness in their work despite sometimes obvious marginal social graces.

Making progress doesn't always amount to good grammar or spelling. Surely, it helps at times.

People with money are not able to buy those characteristics. But, with the good people of this region, they are able to rent them for awhile to make themselves look better.

Sounds right to me oh wise one.  

I've known great people that couldn't read.  Some of the most malcontent individuals you'll ever meet, can otherwise have character.

That focus on our faults isn't beneficial, leads to self-loathing.  And Oklahoma has plenty of that.  But it is better to understand who we are, rather than cry for who we are not.

Actually belongs in another thread we have going, but I couldn't resist:

"Class isn't something you buy Reggie.  Look at you, you're wearing a $700 suit and you're still a low-life."

"Yeah, but I look good!"
