- Being a ninth-generation West Virginian (if you include the time it
- was part of Virginia), I have to warn you that I'm related to _both_
- the Hatfields and McCoys. I also have the flintlock rifle used by
- my great-great-grandfather in the War of Northern Agression.

- Yup, we have our own ways, even if we've moved ta tha big cittee.
-
- Oh, and if you're going to use tired, old stereotypes, at least admit
- that the proper title was sister-cousin-aunt. And remember that the
- novel and movie "Deliverance" (one of our more recent examples of
- "family values") was set in Georgia, _not_ West Virginia.

- Can you truthfully say you are your own third cousin? I can. :-)
