That ought to be obviou...Ibbitson is full of crap. That ought to be obvious but it needed to be said again.<br /><br />The myth is not the rural/urban bit. The fantasy factory is the one that presumes that the townie anti-Confederate ideology that Williams exploited to such an extent is in fact in any dimension true.<br /><br />Of course, his readers aren't interested in anything more than what he learned by staying at the same hotel as all the other safari jounrnalists and speaking to people for five or 10 minutes.<br /><br />But then again, the same people who believe the myths he presumes to debunk will lvoe the fact he came and that he wrote nice things about them. After all, they judge their own value by what people like Ibbitson print in their newspaper.<br /><br />I cannot think of a more pathetic thing than to tie my self-esteem to a guy who can't count.Edward Holletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13152397042408814142noreply@blogger.com
