The "good ole boys" would assume it was ok to spout their stupid racist crap.
Doesn't happen much anymore, because I don't run into a lot of new people these days.

What really gets me down is the overall level of ignorance that you cannot avoid noticing.
Some otherwise nice people simply do not read anything except the newspaper, not books, and get their info from tv.
Any computer use is for Facebook and email. Period. There is no intellectual curiosity at all.

It would drive me nutz if I was not a happy hermit these days.
