First step to Harmony is to quit perpetuating this divide of "locals" vs "non-local" or "native" or "born and raised" vs. everyone else. What's good for one set of folks is usually good for everyone else too. Bottom line is that we are all Americans with the same set of rights and responsibilities as anyone else, no matter if you were born in Fannin, Naples, FL, Seattle, WA Boston, MA, Ninety-Six, SC, or some little town in North Dakota. I think most people show respect when respect is earned and respect certainly cuts both ways, and across all types of people. Usually to get respect, one must show respect.. I will be glad when all clanishness (wherever and whomever it is coming from) continues to fade into the sunset of the past.
