As much as I hated where I lived in Upstate New York, I have come to loathe the midwest even more. The level of willful ignorance I have encountered here is unbelievable. Some of my favorite quotes include lines such as:
"I don't believe in evolution."
Well, you don't have to believe in it, evolution exists anyway. Evolution is not a deity feeding on your belief in order to feed its own ego.
There is also this trend towards home schooling out here so that the precious little children of the misdwest aren't exposed to the evils of society. Because elementary schools are a bastion of sex and drug filled debauchary with the occassional bit of Shakespeare thrown in to justify those outrageous property taxes the district feels it has to charge everyone to teach their children to be godless, oversexed violent. (if literate) drug addicts.
Violent... oversexed... drug addicts? When did xyz elementary turn into Abu Gharib? Just wondering...
I've just been finding myself more and more complacent about everything since moving out here. My main concern has switched from trying to change the world into a better place for everyone to exist (if only in a localized, mainly insignifigant way), to making enough money to leave.
Oh well.
