Gary, it is not the answer I was looking for but upon research it is correct. So the question should read, What two words.......ect?

Mitch let me get my feet wet on this one...Job...Biblical Man job...work.

Tupelo, MS?

The answer should be Washington D.C. We all know that there are a lot of ignorant people there.

My guess is Miami.

How about Brooklyn, NY? Or is that not large enough? (Plenty big enough for me, I'm sure!)

I would say Los Angeles, California.
