I live in Alabama and I only have one lock and one chain on my front door; I can walk around at night without fear of a drive-by shooting or mugging; my college campus is not filled with professors who advocate killing post-partum children and having sex with animals; the other day my campus dedicated a memorial to the ROTC, without protests from the lefty loonies; people are friendly and helpful here.
Yep, my quality of life is terrible.
