You know how I love making sweeping generalizations - everyone I ever met from Indiana was a complete nutcase. From UFO's in the backyard to Papist conspiracies to Satan planting dinosaur bones in the ground to confound the faithful, to laetril being God's own natural and pure cure for cancer that government is keeping under wraps because (and I quote) "they make too much money off a' cancer for them to want to really cure it;" from husbands murdering wives and "she's shouldna' left him alone," to the denial of evolution said with a hearty laugh, "They want me to think I'm a monkey's uncle!!" to a strong belief in an Amish "doctor" who diagnoses you by looking into your eyes and a vigorous KKK - that's what I know of Indiana folk.
