re: Newest Alabama Poll released tonight: Moore 49 Jones 44

actually it's not dumb. it's where you're from. it's where you grew up and influenced as a person. it's where your family is from.

I actually don't think the people are stupid. I think the centers of populations are nothing but rot and decay and the smaller towns within a certain proximity decline as well. all this stuff greatly impacts poverty and education. people in Alabama whose only option is a shitty public school, I feel bad for them. it's not entirely their fault. it doesn't mean they're stupid. and of the 3 states, I would much rather live in AL than MS or LA not based on anything other than my own self interests.
