P.S. I know the state very well -- have lived in New Orleans, and go back constantly -- such as next week again, for a conference at which we give the plenary address, and to see friends. We'll be staying with one for a couple of days who is living in the part of Louisiana that might be called True Blood country.
Unfortunately we've just elected a government (well not me- I didn't vote for the Tories) here in the UK which thinks pretty much the same way- anyone who isn't them or their privileged Oxbridge crowd and rich friends is worthless.
