"Well, it's just what we are in the south."
Well, that might be good. It also might be sin.

"As a general rule, the more complex and/or emotional the issue, the greater the tendency to select only part of the evidence,prematurely construct a grid, and so filter the rest of the evidence through the grid that it is robbed of any substance.
