[lbo-talk] why are white southerners so violent?

[Joseph Catron]

I don't remember if the figures Gladwell cited went quite down to the county
level, but otherwise, yes. In addition to specific crimes, he also wrote
about psychological tests confirming the prickliness of Southerners, which
impresses me considerably more; crime rates can be caused by anything, and
causation is notoriously hard to prove.
