The above photo is taken from the East Tennessee Valley... in the back ground, you can see the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains where the fishing and hunting are excellent and where some of the best marijuana in the country is grown... that area is also the home to some of the best moonshine in the country as well... although that distinction is also shared with western North Carolina...
Living in the country is not associated with living with rednecks nor is it associated with inbreeding although there is a standing northern sentiment that most all southerners are inbread... of course, most all southerners feel that New Yorkers are arrogant assholes whose only saving grace is that they are rude to everyone because they cannot distinguish between individuals...
Personally, I don't think either opinion is valid or accurate... that is until someone proves it to be accurate and valid... and, I am sure that happens all the time.
People who live in the country pretty much like to have space around them. They like to feel the sun and not have it blocked by buildings. They like to feel safe and secure. They want their children to feel safe and secure. They want privacy sometimes and they want to feel like they are part of a community...
Faith is a big part of country living and while one's faith is strong, country dwellers are tolerant of other people's views towards faith and respectful if it does not agree with theirs.
Of course, there is always the exception... but, they say that the exception proves the rule... I don't know about that... but what I do know is that I like living in the country...
