Glad to hear that. The average Southerner, is probably not as well educated as the typical Northerner, though (note that I did not say "inherently less intelligent"). I've lived in the South all of my life. You wouldn't believe some of the things that I've heard my fellow Southerners say in ignorance. But this is not the forum for elaborating on that.
So, to be more precise, I should not have said "many in the U.S. . . . " There may be "many in the deep South," but I really think that I would have been overstating things even then.
