how fucked up is the south??


way too fucked up to ever comprehend. It's like the dream of the dying
person. Sweaty, dark, and confusing.
Where did the old genteel south go? You know, miss daisy?
Well children, it's like this story my dear old grandpappy told me
when I was just a little bit bigger than a booger. It's the one about
how there was this place called los angeless where myth had it, the
stars lived. Now that weren't at all the way it was in los angeless,
but at some point all these people who had the myth bad wanted IT to
be so...so they all move out and low and behold it became what they
dreamt it was, except the stars weren't stars but just assholes who
looked like stars from a distance. But somehow with all the
artificiality it was thus, and became a dirty stark place of
prostitusion and vanity. All the red neck bankers and computer
specialists from the the rest of the country moved into the south just
like that... but they didn't bring with them anything more than the
shit where they came from. As a result the genteel south was lost in
the dust of mythology and thats where they lost identity and grace.
Mix all that moving into the Research Retriangle, the i85 corridor and
i495 i10 around atlanta and houston and you get a bunch of
midde-of-the-roaders sucking up republicanism like crack addicts on
crack. It's a mess. Don't try to figure it out either...just get the
fuck outs there before it blows!!!
