In a former life, I lived a year in Montgomery, Alabama. The state capitol was then a curious mixture of 20th century progress and 19th century backwardness, tinted with a bit of southern charm and lingering racial suspicion. Folks there would continually surprise me with kindness when I anticipated anger or apathy, or prejudice when I expected cooperation.
Now some folks there are acting up again. What to think of this event?
