For example, it'd be difficult to have a work environment supportive of gays and lesbians in a state that puts gays and lesbians to death.

The problem is that in order to do this, you have to teach Darwinian evolution AND have a viable alternative scientific model, and the conserva-fundies don't want to do the former and have nothing for the latter. So, while they're all for "teaching the strengths and weaknesses," they don't have an ID package that can be easily put into a science book.
I'm kinda pissy about the attitude the coasts have towards Flyover-Jesusland.
I'll bet that New Orleans proper was a blue spot on the more detailed maps of red and blue.

If its sinners God is after he broke the wrong levy.
Seriously. The French Quarter is in better shape than so much else.
