I think your opinion on this also depends on who you are socializing with. If you are in college, very liberal towns, or educated areas then you would be hard-pressed to find one. However, if you go to small towns or go out to the country, they are everywhere!

you have got to be kidding me. what is this based upon?

i find that there are idiots, racists, etc, everywhere. small towns and the countryside don't hold a monopoly on the same.



i did have to set a coworker straight this morning. she was repeating something she got in an email--that obama was a muslim and had taken his oath of office on the koran. i told her that she was incorrect on both counts.

i had to bite my tongue however, when tempted to ask wtf would it matter?! and i got plenty of backup in the discussion that followed, from a fellow small town, countryside liver...of course, he MAY have been educated.
