I think it's interesting that both of our countries used the same terms for farmers back when. I wonder where it originated first. From what you explained, an Australian redneck is more of a simple farmer than the malicious American kind. In fact, when I think about it, the term 'redneck' can be slung at city-folk too. It's more of a mindset than an economic background, I guess.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17841184951628259482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18214889.post-1132962888354987862005-11-26T10:54:00.000+11:002005-11-26T10:54:00.000+11:00Wineries do a lot of environmental damage out here...Wineries do a lot of environmental damage out here in Oregon, too, but they are getting better. We're also getting more and more organic farmers as opposed to these giant corporate farms that gut enviro laws to suck dry the rivers and replace the water with waste and runoff. You know we have CATTLE in our National Forests? And rednecks here like to align themselves with the people who fought to keep slaverly legal. They stick the confederate flag on the back of their pickups and claim it's "just a symbol of rebellion." Grr.<BR/><BR/>I like the happy, warm picture!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17841184951628259482noreply@blogger.com
