The premise of this column is correct, but I call BS on this statement above. I don't believe for a second he went out and interviewed "country boys and inner-city underground cultists."
He could have heard them in to talk radio to make his point. I will give him the benefit of the doubt on this one, as he doesn’t even need that line to get the point across.
Excellent article IMO.
He didn’t say “went out and interviewed.” he said he’d “heard from” those folks. And as someone with a national column and a functioning e-mail address, I’m sure he has. Right here on FR, I’ve heard from a couple of folks — only a couple — who insist that animal fighting is a vital part of Southern culture, and the outrage against it is more evidence of the yankeefied wussification of America.
