There is nothin left of northern va..you'd have to move out my way fore you see any peace.
I dont think it's kids..ner immigrants..I think it's the folks from the north. I caint tell you how many people I talk to each day, and how many are from the north..a safe percentage would be 90%, and they all go nuts over the way I talk. "Where you from?" they always say. my reply..."Right here" lol

Richmond is a hot spot..w/ monument ave and all..staues of Robert E Lee, Stonewall Jackson and the like run up and down that street..places like Jeff Davis hwy and thr Robert E lee schools...all will be gone. Wether we like it er not, it's our heritage..and one that should not be tampered w/ or destroyed just cause they aint from round here.
Nor should our woods and fields be destroyed fer the same reason. Look at WVA..prime example. They took everything that state had fer resources. Most lived offa the land, just like we do. Now, the mtns are blown up so bad, a weed wouldnt grow, much the ginseng, pinkroot and animals that people still depend on today to live. Same w/ the mtns of VA. WVA had to resort to gamblin casinos...well by God..it's illegal here, and I prey it stays that way!
Fabs said earlier that he aint like VA laws..but you see..nobody w/ the open mind would like em. They seem to harsh and stuff..like them makin a change in the VA contitution bout bannin gay marriages.
But, look at it from our pov...we DONT want them laws changed. We like bein old-fashioned and we are set in our ways bout what is right and wrong. Agreed w/ Fabs tho, some are stupid..but it's what we want..the old Virginians..not some feller from LA w/ a Rolls. Tis the way it should be I think. Funny thing tho, it aint stoppin the mad rush fer folks to live here.
As fer as huntin, they'll never take that away. Even in the VA tourism guide, huntin is in there..lol..

As fer as me movin out west..I appreciatte the thought..but this here is my home. I could not imagine bein anywhere else..even iffin I'm sittin here watchin the destruction of it.
