As Alabama fights against gay marriage and defies federal mandates, it raises the question: Why is Alabama always defiant? The state was the most adamant state's-rights holdout against civil rights, too. Why? Is it in the state's character? Is there something about the people who live there, or the politicians they elect? Are the politicians so afraid of the conservative rural voters that they feel the need to put on what they know is a losing battle of resistance? (New York Times)
