TJ1911 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 "Who are we? We are the molten core at the very center of the raw, unbridled, rebellious spirit of America. We helped build this nation, from the bottom up. We face life on our feet, not on our knees. We were born fighting. And if the cause is right, we will never retreat." - James Webb, from "Born Fighting-How the Scots-Irish Shaped America." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Good stuff. I've been reading the book Outliers, which has a bit in it that attempts to explain some of the psychology behind this and behind the family feuds that prevailed in the formative years of America.
