[lit-ideas] Lifelong Natives & Other

I wrote a longish thing at my blogspot, "Griceclub.blogspots" under  
"Tautology and Contradiction" on a 'gaffe' if gaffe it is in the Arizona daily, 
 
"a lifelong native"
 
From Quinion's word-service:
 
"An article of 16 January in the Arizona Republic describes a New  
Orleans resident as a "lifelong native". This differentiates him, 
Bob  Kelly guesses, from late-arriving natives."
 
In my blog entry I consider whether the writer (who was NOT McEvoy) is  
contradicting hisself or another self.
