@Ceaselessmind I was born and raised in the rural south. The vast majority of the rural southerners I know are indoctrinated Republicans and evangelicals. They are nice to people who think like they do or who do not express different opinions on social and political issues. But, they they do act obediently to a culture filled with racism, xenophobia, and ethnocentirm. If they would act with more honestly, with greater true morality, and with independent beliefs and actions, the south could change. But, as of yet, they will not.

@Ceaselessmind Nlorth Csarolina is no longer completely a "southern state. The educational level is too high in comparison to most southern states. In creasing number of high tech firms in the Research Traiangle Park and in other cities are significantly changing the culture of the state.

What you describe is not true of almost all of South Carolina, rrual Georgia and major parts of Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and rural TRexas.

To carry one a reasonable written dialogue, I would appreciate it if you would write in much shorter, single topic paragreaphs. With my failing vision, your conglomerated writing is unpleasant to try to read.

I'm trying to sound incredibly sarcastic. Mississippi is threatening to jail people. Dumb shits locking up dumbshits after ignoring everything.

@Beowulfsfriend I got it.
