Which often seems to be the case.
We deserve all the flak we get. Witty, and some of the other American postesters, are the exception. She shines the light on just how bad it is down here. I hope people feel the same way about me. (but trying to be humble and not lump myself in)

Living in red America has been the most eye opening thing ever. I often daydream of moving to the northeast or somewhere that there are at least less yokels. But then I realize that I can't just hide from it. I need to see it and be reminded that its real.
