Yeah. And to heck with those sophisticates in Nebraska too.
Sure, OK. Since those who think themselves sophisticated are often the most insular, provincial, small-minded dolts of all. I wasn't commenting on evolution so much as some people's willingness to be defined by others.
I'm not from the South, but it seems that some southerners are worried about what northerners will think of them (I think the last line of the article mentions something about how Georgia gets what it deserves from the north when it does crazy stuff like this). There's this cliche that southerners who take Christianity seriously are yokels -- and some southerners and Christians seem to want to buy into that.
I told my wife somebody had referred to me as a sophisticate. After she stopped laughing (which took a while) she advised me to warn you never to watch me eat.
