just an acknowledgement that in the U.S. rulings that are so blatantly backward seem to be more common in that region. By the way, the state I live in is just about as red as Alabama, so I could have said Oklahoma... or Kansas, or Missouri, or a good number of states. Come to think of it, you're right, in deep red rural Michigan you might well find such a judge, too!
