My Apologies to Alabama

In yesterday's entry I made fun of Alabamians. Now, not all Alabamians are ignorant teeth-missing yokels with bad grammar. Some are highly educated and highly motivated professional people with aspirations and the motivation to attain those aspirations.

Did I just say "some?" What I meant to say was "few." Yes, few are highly educated and highly motivated professional people with aspirations and the motivation to attain those aspirations.

While there is this "few" who are truly magnificent people, most people from Alabama are the more common good work ethic, fairly well educated, ethical people intent on making the world a better place.

Whoa, wait a second, did I just "most?" I am really off base there, I really think that it should be "a few more." So in correction... A few more people are the more common good work ethic, fairly well educated, ethical people intent on making the world a better place.

So most people in Alabama must be classified as everyday NASCAR watching (Why Dale why?!?! you were taken before your time!), 9 to 5-er, secretly (some not so secretly) racist, trying to get to the weekend so they can get drunk while they watch some college football, go to church to feel better than other people on Sunday only to rinse and repeat weekly people.

Wait a second, I completely forgot about one group that exists in Alabama. So the everyday NASCAR watching (Why Dale why?!?! you were taken before your time!), 9 to 5-er, secretly (some not so secretly) racist, trying to get to the weekend so they can get drunk while they watch some college football, go to church to feel better than other people on Sunday only to rinse and repeat weekly people are not the majority.

There are still even more "GOD-fearing", Southern Baptist, blatantly racist, tacitly hypocritical, slow-moving, closed-minded, right-wing conservative, gun-rack in the back truck window, rebel-flag waving people in the State (Chief Justice Roy Moore anyone? and his 4 out of 5 people in the state wanting to integrate church and state while segregating schools).

There are still the ignorant teeth-missing yokels with bad grammar. They just aren't the majority. Kinda close to the majority, but not quite. Probably describe them as number 3 in the populace.

Most of the intelligent people in Alabama are just passing through, or just biding their time to leave that God-forsaken state. The only reason their are rocket scientist in Alabama is because of the Huntsville Space Center and Red-Stone Arsenal. I am just happy that I got out when I did.

Stupid Alabama
