We like for things to be as confusing as possible.
Even in Iowa just 60 miles due south on US 218 of the liberal bastion of Iowa City one almost enters a different country. It's not all bad, though; no one calls me "Honey" in Iowa City but they do the farther south I get.
Yeah, I am familiar with Iowa and Iowans. Lived there from the time I was 2 till I was in my mid 20s. From Ames to Dubuque/Delaware counties, to a year in Iowa City.
Back in the day my boyfriend was in a band with a guy with hair nearly to his waist. In Delhi (I know you are familiar) we literally tucked his hair up under his hat so no one got an ass-kicking. My job as unofficial roadie was to listen to people in the bar and give warning if anyone got jacked up over the hippie playing drums.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
