I really intend no disrespect. I'm from the Northeast and, like a great many other Americans, I don't understand the hold that fundamentalism seems to have over the South.

Yes, we have churches and a few fundamentalists and all that up here too but even those who actually go to church just seem to have a more relaxed attitude about religion here.

This question is posted in "Politics" because I'm greatly interested in politics and religion greatly influences politics, particularly in the South.

As I said, no disrespect intended. I've been a visitor to the South and found Southerners to be gracious and friendly people. I just don't get the religion thing. Can anyone explain?

I'm in my mid-fifties. Spent some time in the UK and loved it. I'm thinking of retiring there, probably in the Borders, as that's where I have friends.

Are retiree Yanks welcome in the UK as residents? I won't be taking a job from anyone and I do love UK culture and people (And football. Mad about football).

Really want the truth. There are NO bad answers.

Thanks.

Since they changed things, I cannot answer any questions. When as I hit the "Submit" button, nothing whatsoever happens. Worked fine 'til they "fixed" it.

The company still does business as usual but now has a different stock ticker symbol. Does my (small) amount of stock have ANY value?
