I thank God, from a child the negative things I heard of Mississippi, can be replaced with sigh of hope that positive change comes in every situation. Conservative means "maintain" some things, ideas, beliefs are not to be maintained.

There is a parable that goes, a young girl watching her mother cook a ham, always saw her cut the end off, and asked why do you cut the end off? the mother responded, I don't know that's just the way my mother did it, the young girl went to her grandmother and asked why do we cut the end of the ham off when we cook it, the grandmother replied "I don't know that's just how I saw my mother do it. The young girl was blessed to still have her great grandmother, she asked her GG, why do we cut the end of the ham off before we cook it? Her great-grandmother responded who does that? momma, and grandmother, the great grandmother, said tell them to cook the whole ham, I didn't have a pot big enough to put my ham in.

Some things need to change.

I think Jesus was regularly dealing with 'ham cutter offerers'.
At least the women above were honest enough to say they didn't know why they cut the end off. That's quiet a contrast to those who bring out scripture to justify their 'end of ham trimming' hmmx1:
