North or South, East or West, most of us have to figure things out for ourselves, get it right, and keep it together. So it's a little annoying when people come along and say that because of where they're born they understand it all from the beginning. If one said that perhaps the South had real problems with some of these principles in past times, it's regarded as an insult, but anything can be said against other parts of the country. I guess the thing to do is count Bowden's articles as humor which may contain some truth, but also much exaggeration and not a little complacency.

Agreed. That's the problem in a nutshell.

nope. You don't understand it from the beginning. You learn it at (and sometimes over) your mama's knee.
