It's not so much that -as a Connecticut Yankee that moved into the south. The south is a wonderful place rich with history, great wilderness, and a fairly decent people that still value hospitality. It's also full of sparsely filled main streets and ghost towns with only 2 Dollar Generals and a host of mom and pop stores that have gone out of business. This person is trying to convey this difference and is an inarticulate asshat. I'll tell you this - I can't get good healthcare but I can get a smoked tenderloin biscuit at 6 places on the way to work that puts fast food to shame. It is also not very healthy. I no longer care.
