Or even putting the FARMS Review in the Agricultural section.

Well it is fertilizer of a sort.
I think it would be morally right to lie about your religion to edit the article favorably. bcspace

I will say that people in Tennessee are by and large very open and accomodating. However, the people I knew in Utah were friendly as well. I miss the mountains......
Interestingly enough, Moore county, where you'll find the Jack Daniels distillery, is a dry county.

haha! Cacheman, I was reading the thread and some "oddities" of the South were popping in my head.

I lived in a dry county for most of my life. The closest alcohol could be bought about 30 miles away...needless to say bootlegging in both homemade and regular alcohol is one of the best underground moneymakers [of course they do a good pot and meth trade as well].
As to neighbors, well I grew up on a farm and the closest neighbor was 1/2 a mile away, and only recently have I lived within shouting distance of any neighbors. I've had a few and luckily they've all been good. Non Mormons all, although I had a few Mormons in the neighborhood when I lived on the edge of Mormondom, they were cool too. But I keep to myself though so my interaction is limited with neighbors.

MASH quotes I peeked in the back [of the Bible] Frank, the Devil did it. I avoid church religiously. This isn't one of my sermons, I expect you to listen.

Really? That's funny, because in my house we call it the "Devil Store" and never set foot in them.

Regarding Jason's comment about the restaurant partitions, I've been wondering how our good senator reacts to people seated at the table next to him having a glass of wine or beer with their meal. Heavens, it's just sitting there in the open, where an innocent child could see it or even grab it and chug!
