Thinking on the 5th of May
Why do we Americans make a big deal out of "Cinco De Mayo"? We go out and eat Mexican food, drink Mexican Beer...Try our best at Spanish, such a happy sounding language. We party for our neighbors independence.
Now Fourth Of July we eat hot dogs and hamburgers. Grilled cheese sandwhich maybe.
If the South had won, would we eat pinto beans and corn bread?
It is my Grandmother's Birthday.

Why would anyone want to sink mayonnaise?
We don't eat no stinking pinto beans . . . cornbread . . . maybe, maybe a lot of cornbread . . . big heaps of cornbread with lots and lots of butter . . . then maybe some pinto beans. Bill
I just realized what Sage wrote . . . that is funny! Bill
Sink de mayonnaaise with de cornbread . . . I can't help it. Bill
Sage, maybe them Somali Pirates would sink mayonnaise?
Bill, the Army has served cornbread that could sink ships.
May 5th was just another day for me and rightly so since it should be obvious mexico is still dependent...on America, more specifically, our money.
Majorly good point, Twister.
Speaking of cornbread... I knew I'd married into a different culture (midwest, flatland Ohio) when I was served cornbread and beans at my 1st wife's parents house a few months after getting hitched in 1970.
The cornbread had sugar in it; it was in a square aluminum pan; the beans were white Northerns.
Man-o-man, I knew then that this marriage wasn't gonna last. 13 yrs was all I could take of it before I skeedaddled.
Gunner, I never had sugar in my cornbread until I went in service, then I found I liked it. The Army call si, "Yankee Cornbread".
Concerning the Confederacy and State's Rights it seems the feds are being challenged again.

Prima facie a Second Amendment issue, this case could have huge ramifications for interpretation of the Ninth and Tenth Amendments.
That's very interesting, Sec. Now, as to my point of the post (call me what you like) we ooh and awe over a southern neighbor's unique culture and ignore our own. Not that ours is perfect.
To reflect on it, in Washington, we have political a witch hunt going on in the guise of human rights (the torture stuff) while those very people impose upon the rights of our citizenry.
Quoting the Panama Law article:"Since when did the USA start following their own laws especially the constitution of the USA, the very document that empowers the USA...Things are no longer the same with the USA. Do not be deceived by Obama acting as if all is the same, it is not."
