You know, as a general rule, Oklahomans are very helpful people, I think. Oh, there are a few that are nasty-fied, but you can chalk that up to living up north where people are crowded in like rats in a cage for the most part. I got to thinking WHY are Okies so nice? I think it is because both the Indian part and the White part were two groups of people just looking for a home... ROOTS. you know? I think when they find out you are trying to find your roots..you are trying to find your family, I think there is a spiritual yearning that they can really grasp. maybe I am too romantic-minded.
