THE DIRTY SOUTH

               


 



"Vengeance and retribution require a long time; it is the rule.

                                                                            -Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities



"A small town is automatically a world of pretense. Since everyone knows everyone elses

business, it becomes the job of the populace to act as if they don't know what is going on

instead of it's being their job to find out...in a world like this, news is not welcome..."

                                                                            - Jeanne Basinger,  A Woman's view; How

                                                            Hollywood spoke to Women, 1930-1960



"The blood-dimmed tide loosed, and everywhere

The ceremony of innocence is drowned...

                                                                            - W.B. Yeats, "The Second Coming"




" Yonder come little David

    with his rock and sling

     I don't wanna meet him,

     He's a dangerous man.

                                                                         - "Sit Down Servant"  (Traditional)



"But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for the murderers, the sexually

  immoral, the sorcerers, the idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that

  burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death."

                                                                           - Revelation 21:8
