I can see being associated with Wizard of Oz, tornadoes and flat topography are very much akin to being painted as completely backward and inbred. They're very much the same (sarcasm very much intended). To say that the same crap doesn't pop up from every corner of the country (every one to which I've traveled....a lot...) is naive. You may never have noticed it because you've either not paid attention to it or had it pointed out. Trust me when I say I have learned to shrug it off. If we didn't learn to shrug off our home and people being drug through the mud, we'd all be in jail somewhere. I shrugged this off when I saw it on Twitter. I shrugged this off when I saw it on FB. I shrugged this off when it came up on a conference call this morning with about a dozen folks on it from around the country. When it was brought to a message board on a WVU site, I decided to tell the truth about it. Besides, criminy, I only said it's baseless, tired and lacks creativity, which are completely accurate. It's not like I'm calling for pitchforks and torches.
BTW, love the beagles. I've been around them all my life. I prefer liver and white, but a good tri is a pretty dog, too. I hope you run them. They live for it. Damn, I wish I had the time to rabbit hunt like I used to have. I like to hunt generally and don't have the time I would like to do it anymore, but I absolutley love having 4 or 5 or 6 guys out listeing to the dogs run 'em up and down the valley.
