But please remember that 26 out of 100 was just pertaining to the official name. Until we have a fair and open discussion and a democratic vote, we won't know the wishes of the majority of the CCs. Tennessee is known as the Volunteer State, but our ancestors didn't volunteer blindly nor did they follow blindly. Our ancestors were free thinking, independent people looking for a place where they could be themselves and live the best way they could. Our history bears this out. How can we ask or expect less of ourselves. Mary Floy
