Rednecks

I had to do some research for a web forum reply to someone concerning the use of the term "redneck". Luckily, I remembered these three articles from Whiskey and Gunpowder:

• Rednecks, White Trash, and Blue Collars, Part 1: Lessons I Learned in West Virginia
  
• Rednecks, White Trash, and Blue Collars, Part 2: A Tale of Two Citizens
  
• Rednecks, White Trash, and Blue Collars, Part 3: A Blood Debt Yet to be Repaid

Lots to be learned, there.
