Bacon eggs, and biscuits and gravy every morning will change a man... in more ways than one. I don't think that's a rural dynamic, but a regional one. West Virginia? Have you been there? That's not just rural... that's a whole different ball game. Let's make it easier; Upstate New York and New York City? I can't believe they're in the same country much less the same state hah! California is another good example. Drive in any direction out of any of the big cities until you start seeing horses, then talk to someone. Chances are they're a Christian, Conservative, Veteran, Patriot.. or all of the above... in California...
