Lott No True Southron

You can mark both pluses and minuses against the South as a culture; but I

always thought one of the big pluses is, that the South has brought forward

the code of gentlemanly honor into the modern age. Now, if a man has

embarrassed his colleagues in this way, it seems to me that the honorable

thing for him to do is resign. Where is the fault in my logic here?
