Good for you in being proactive in environmental protection.

I would like to direct you to this video. It’s only 5 minutes long, and very interesting.

I’m active in trying to protecting our environment, and the responses of you bloggers is discouraging. Each of us has a responsibility to minimize our impingement on the resources that we share in common; it does not fall to some third party however daunting its prospect. If governments are inept, get another that isn’t. The earth is well past its carrying capacity; some one third of our numbers face starvation daily. It’s a matter of basic survival.

But we all know that it is used as slang to mean something else.

The use of redneck to designate “a union member” was especially popular during the 1920s and 1930s in the coal-producing regions of southern West Virginia, eastern Kentucky, and western Pennsylvania, where the word came to be specifically applied to a miner who belonged to a labor union.

The best explanation of redneck to mean “union man” is that the word refers to the red handkerchiefs that striking union coal miners in both southern West Virginia and southern Colorado often wore around their necks or arms as a part of their informal uniform.

With the origin clear ~ it’s nothing to be ashamed about

I checked it out, it didn’t seem to much like she was putting me down. Just her opinion is all.

I also red the comments…and you called me a redneck…? What is your definition of that, cause where I am from, I am so not a redneck.
