I'm old enough to remember when places like Georgia and Alabama were mostly made up of self-reliant farmers but those days are long gone. Now we have a great many native Southerners spending most of their time in their darkened air-conditioned trailers watching television and aimlessly moving from dead-end job to dead-end job, often on the government dole, and bitching about how little the government is helping them. Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just calling it as I see it.
Obviously there are still great patriotic Americans in the Southland (just like there are up North) but their numbers are declining rapidly as younger generations, brainwashed and made brain-dead by the trash culture that permeates TV, are replacing them. Thanks to mass media, the newer generations of Southerners are becoming indistinguishable from their counterparts elsewhere. They are even losing their distinctive accents. And the obesity and meth-use down there with the younger crowd...it's absolutely out of control. Don't argue with me on that, I frequently go down there and I see it firsthand.
This entire country needs a wake-up call.
So true
