You might be a redneck if your boat has not left the driveway in 15 years.
You might be a redneck if you consider a good tan to be the back of your neck and the left arm below the shirt sleeve.
When you ride in a boat and watch the shore, you might assume that the shore is moving. But when you keep your eyes closely on the boat, you can see that the boat moves. Similarly, if you examine myriad things with a confused body and mind you might suppose that your mind and nature are permanent. But when you practice intimately and return to where you are, it will be clear that there is nothing that has unchanging self.
If you're afraid they might discover your redneck past, there are a hundred ways to cover your redneck past.
You can ask the question, "What's making the boat go forward?" It can't be the wake. The wake can't drive the boat. It's just the trail left behind. It can't make the boat go forward, any more than the trail that you've left behind in your life is responsible for where you're going now in your life. The belief that whatever you've been is what you have to be is a meme - a mind virus.

It's so much fun to dream in your driveway. I had an old wooden backboard in my driveway. That's where my friends and I hung out.
The road to success just might be your driveway.
We have created a democracy that links us all, and with it come not only opportunities but obligations. There are no gates or walls high enough. There are no bank accounts large enough to buy you and your family and your friends protection from the fear and hunger of those left behind or to isolate you from the consequences of growing social inequities. We are all in this boat together. And the fact that there isn't a hole at your end of the boat doesn't mean you are safe.
You might be a redneck if your handkerchief doubles as your shirt sleeve.

You might be a redneck if the highlight of your parties is when you flip out your false teeth.
You might be a redneck if your good deed for the month was hiding your brother for a few days.
You might be a redneck if your favorite hunting dog has a bigger tombstone than your grandfather.
You might be a redneck if your beer can collection is considered a tourist attraction in your home town.
