"...all men are created equal..."
Thomas Jefferson (Mr. Do As I Say But Not As I Do)
Having recently visited Monticello, I applaud Jefferson's
solution for dining at home: a rotating, shelved pass-through, to
keep the kitchen personnel invisible; only those few serving at table
were present in the dining room.
Perhaps those in charge should bring "you all" to the north.
Joel
They may _send_ y'all (the phrase) to the north, but don't _bring_ it:
We have too many 'in charge' already!
