I've been to parts of Kansas - Frank's own Johnson County. It's been years ago - early 90's, but from what I remember, Kansas is one of the more educated states in this country and was growing stronger even as some other areas of the Midwest were not growing in that same period.
It is Thomas Frank's crap about us supposedly voting against our best interests that piss me off the most. Thomas Frank does not have my best interest at heart. He has his. I did not vote against my interests. I voted my own interest. I know them. Frank does not know jack.
I have grown to love Texas since moving here in August 2008, but man, I miss Kansas.
Nothing wrong with it at all except for electing Dems to governor because of Republican infighting occassionally.
The film actually sounds interesting and very opposite of the book since Frank didn’t have anything to do with it. It actually sounds complimentary.
