38. One thing I dislike about Garafolo ...
... she reverts to this method of bashing people who have been deceived. She gives VERY little thought to those listening who are on the fence.

This whole "unsophisticated" hick thing is a load of bull. Both cultures have their own sophistications. Southerners have mind bendingly elaborate recipes for BBQ. They memorize the scores of Nascar drivers and indulge in the same type of reactive poetry in country music as urbanites do in hip-hop.

One side thinks the one is "simpletons". The other thinks of "fancy pants Yankees". Both groups have their own unique sophistications. Yet both would look at aboriginal way of life as "savage". Same deal, it's just a culture clash.
