See?!!! That's what I'm talking about.

I know the folks from that area of the country. I've got kinfolk that live so far back in the woods that Bigfoot is the mail man.

They're not dumb people either. The Hollywood movie snobs push that on the media. These are simple, God fearing people who just go to work and raise their kids. Sure there are problems but it's a depressed area. Farming is destroyed because the big corporate farms took over and the government didn't do squat. Only thing is mining.

If you saw the NBC Nightly News you saw how they criticized the government regulators of 'being more like partners' with the coal mining companies instead of inspecting and fining them as they're supposed to.

People are being sold out all over the country for corporate greed and with that guy what got busted for campaign bribery taking a dive, you can bet a scandal of mega proportions is gonna hit and you're gonna see how payoffs run this country.
