    As usual Chris, your content is only surpassed by your eloquence.

    Seriously, though, I'm wondering if it's not some of that same Scots pride that emerged as the Texas pride we are so famous for! Maybe we could say, Celtic "sense of place." Let's face it, Scots, Irish and Texan are pretty nationalistic and that's probably a shared gene!

    (Now that I'm reading Grady McWhiney's "Cracker Culture," those Celtic genes seem to be popping up all over the place :rolleyes: )
