Rednecks and Sophistication

Lately, to cure my previous ignorance, I learned what Redneck really means.

Definitions range from:

"...refers to a stereotype of usually rural, Caucasian (i.e. white) people of lower socio-economic status in the United States and Canada...

to:

"...A redneck is usually typified in popular culture by a straight male with a beer belly that consumes cheap American beer such as Busch or Miller by the case (Pabst Blue Ribbon in more traditional settings) as well as Jack Daniel's. They are generally distrustful or dislike anyone not like them or the government. The stereotypical redneck lives in a trailer, and drives an old, large, beat-up pickup truck with a gun rack in the rear window. He generally wears a stained, sleeveless t-shirt, blue jeans, and a trucker hat..."

The Jeff Foxworthy Definition: ""a glorious lack of sophistication,"

The last one hit me.

Best and Worst Government

If I will name a worst government, it will be what everyone thinks was the best government of all - a dictatorship.

History has shown that the worst governments ever were dictatorships. In nearly all instances where a dictatorship was established, the people always suffered pain and oppression. Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin, Pol Pot, Slodoban Milosevic, Ivan the Terrible, Herod in the Bible, and all other dictators in history have a trail of bloodshed behind. I doubt even Fidel Castro would be excluded from his list. As long as you want to control others, but these others oppose you, you will be tempted to kill them - and you will fall to it. That's just human nature.
