   Several years ago I read a book or a lengthy biographical writing about the   
   Judds   
   (Naomi and Wyonna).The article stated that they were from Kentucky near   
   Louisville.   
    I never forgot that sentence because it jumped off the page as 'inaccurate'.   
      
   True, the Judds are from Kentucky but from my perspective definitely not from   
   "near Louisville."   From my perspective it would have been more accurate to   
   say they were from near Huntington, West Virginia than Louisville, Kentucky.   
   Ashland, Kentucky is much closer to Hunting, West Virginia than it is to   
   Louisville, Kentucky.   
      
   The I questioned why someone would write that.  My conclusion:  most people   
   are familiar with the Twin Spires of Churchill Downs, the home of the Kentucky   
   Derby in Louisville, Kentucky.   Thus apparently not from the area and not   
   knowledgeable of the geography the writer chose Louisville as something   
   he thought readers could identify with.   
      
   My, my, my!   The inequities of the written word.

   It has always been the policy of the   
   advocates of error, when unable to   
   sustain themselves by sophistry, specious   
   reasoning and false logic, to stigmatize   
   the advocates of truth.
