My Dear David,
May I presume to enhance your grasp of American vernacular and geography?
A "hillbilly" would make his log cabin home not in the "White Mountains," which are in northern New England, put in a range in the American South, say the Ozarks.
New Hampshire and Vermont and environs are in fact the homes of swamp yankees.
Now if you will kindly excuse me, I must brush my tooth and return to the still.
By the way, did you hear about the hillbilly who died and left his fortune to his wife?
Alas, she can't touch it until she reaches the age of 14.
Yours,
Jethro

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
