I think a lot of them are talking about the right wing assholes down here, but also don't understand the hideous poverty that keeps many of us here either. They can't fathom the idea that being raised in an area where Walmart is the major employer might make it a bit hard to move. Money does matter. I would have loved to have moved when I was younger and still had some life left in me. Poverty forced me to stay here and being surrounded by asshole right wing redneck types has made me mean and ornery. I'm staying to fight another day. I love that the courts are telling TPTB in states like my state, NC, that they have to let gay people get married. To me, that is worth staying for, just to smirk at the assholes who voted to take my rights away.
