Ignoring AFB's, sure. IIRC, most of our strategic airforce, and most of our nuclear missile silos are based outside of the South (not including states that are only Geographically south, such as Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, etc).

Nobody would trust a bunch of rednecks with real power  :ahand.
That's why the SAVANNAH River Site in the Central Savannah River area, i.e. Augusta, GA, Aiken S.C was the main tritium producing weapons plant for the country. I'm SOUTHERN, and proud of it!

Of course most Americans think we can do your accent better than you can...  :rolleyes:

Indeed!  Living around Washington DC most of my life will do that.  My 15 years down in the South has done little to change my accent ...tho' I've been known to utter the occasional "y'all" once in a blue moon.

I think I can safely speak for all Americans when I say we accept no responsibility for Dick Van Dyke's horrid accent and bad comedy.  Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was the last straw...ye gods.   :rolleyes:

Dear God man....that movie is horrid beyond words.  I hear the CIA is using it in place of waterboarding these days.

And then there are the Canadians.  Sounding like no one in particular with their accent-less English and always being perfectly nice.   Even the local Canadian police are nice.
