I hadn't realized you lived in the American South. Interesting isn't it? It's like living in a giant Rubik's cube that you can never quite figure out, and yet you keep on trying anyway, endlessly.
BTW, although I use the red state/blue state analogy sometimes because it's an easy reference, I don't actually believe that such a thing really exists. It's really urban v. rural. New Orleans is always bright blue, and I imagine so is Atlanta. It's the suburbs that are in question. And since it's the suburbs who are feeling the brunt of the economic crisis, I am hopeful the wind will change. The real wild card here is racism.
