I believe I said "New Orleans and other tradition minded Southern localities" Is not Monroe a tradition minded Southern Locality? Are not parts of Baton Rouge tradition minded? I really didn't want to be pedantic but I was referring to several areas such as much of Louisiana, the Delta country, Mobile and other parts of Alabama, Savannah, Charleston, Richmond and other obvious and not so obvious places.
I did not say anything about EVERYWHERE. I said "localities with which I have had direct experience". That, I submit, is not ridiculous. It is based on direct and personal observation.
