I live in a town which is unprepared for everything. Heat brings a/c units on which shuts down the power grid, cold brings snow and ice which they can do nothing about. Water mains break. Everyone here has the cognitive power of a 10 year old.
There are, of course, wonderful exceptions to this rule. I call these people friends and they are a bastion of hope in an area which can be summed up in 2 words: slow, and stupid.
We really need to move out of this house, but can't afford to move out of asheville. As bad as I want to head to Raleigh to at least hobknob with some PHD's, I dont know if I'll be able to before next years tax returns. I'm so sick of eventually losing my cool with retards who look like they're hoggin all 4 teeth on the appalacian trail I just can't stand it. If I had to explain basic concepts to 50% of the people out there, I might be fine. But honestly 80% of the people I deal with every day (and we're talking at least 100 people a day), never went to an actual school..
News flash, if your mom never graduated from high school you will learn nothing being "home schooled". Sorry, but chances are pretty good your mom is an idiot, and thats the *only* thing she passes on to you.
Even my coworkers are idiots. They like to pretend they're not, so when they write emails they like to use big words. So when they need to use words like "horrendous" or "precious" they ask me to spell it for them.
I'm surrounded by idiocy. I feel like I should be able to run this entire city but the one thing jackasses do well is inhibiting the progress of smarter people.
I am evolution surrounded by intelligent design. I know what dinosaurs felt because this place makes smart folks wilfully desire extinction.
This is all for this blog post. I just had to rant. I know not everyone in the south is mentally challenged. It just feels like it most days.
