"In my personal experience, people in the rural south are much more disconnected from reality than most of the nation....."

What we have here is a classical fallacy of logic know as arguing from the specific to the general. Apparently you narrow experience in the south gives you little qualification for making general conclusions about the people of the region.

I was reared and educated in the deep south, but lived and worked in other states and four foreign countries. I chose after retiring to reside in the deep south where my family, friends and acquaintances are most certainly not disconnected from reality.

In fact I tend to being grossly insulted by your remark and would be so if I were not aware of your apparent narrow mind.

If you would like to discuss this further over a drink the next time you are in my vicinity, please let me know.
