“Rules to live by”

Well, because it’s a slow day and I grow weary of articles about the Middle East and the 08 election, thought I would weigh in on this one.

There are some problems with it.

First, the statement that Southerners are the only one’s to sweeten their tea; not true. The Brit’s put an enormous amount of sugar in their tea, only difference is they serve their’s hot. In fact, this is a major contributor to the horrendous state of British teeth, rotted out by so much sugar in their tea.

Second, the statement “Order an iced tea at a restaurant in the Deep South or Texas ~ a world away”. Again, an incorrect statement. As a native born Texan who has lived in and traveled all regions of the state, I can tell you that serving pre-sweetened iced tea in restaurants is not the norm. The demarcation line for this is somewhere between Greenville and Texarkanna - about the same line where one is served grits instead of hash-browns when ordering breakfast. See, told you it was a slow day....
