In regard to the piece entitled The Saga of Naïve Morton and Misguided Robert, we must confess to having made a slight error which definitely requires correction, and that is what will be attended to herein.
Our corruptive rephrasing of Artimedorus’ written warning to Julius Caesar includes a line which reads as follows:
Latinos love you not;
Considering the era in which this writer was a growing lad, the major influx of Latinos into this supposedly unblemished country still lay a few decades off, meaning that said ethnic group needed no defamation cast upon it for some time to come. However, upon harking back to the indoctrination process administered in our household during those years, it would be fitting to change the above-cited line to read:
Southerners love you not;
Yes, we were also taught that our neighbors down Dixie way held us Yankees in contempt, allegedly due to sour grapes dating back to the outcome of the 1861-1865 fracas. Anyway, that was the party line.
Having recently taken up residence below the Mason-Dixon line, we realize beyond any doubt that such categorization was just as big a crock as the rest of the slurs quoted in our Shakespearean alteration.
