Many southerns are 'out-of-time' ... this extends to education, social, economic, government etc. Many have not caught up to the 'rest of the world' forward thinking ... they are so concern with what the 'Joans think, feel, say, tell' ... that any new concept or idea that its ok to do what the rest of the world does isnt part of what they were breed to believe or understand objectively ... its like they are permanent stuck in a 'time warp' ... for generations ...

... too many are out of touch with is consider socialible acceptable... Birth control and education is spoke in schools to help kids make the right decision which can effect the rest of their lives...

Well hopefully they will wise up soon ...
