Venting not included

Ok...so the last post was basically a vent post. But let me enlighten you to what we know as "small town mentality." When everyone knows everyone and is in some way or another related to each other you get this syndrome called small town mentality. People think your business is their's and mostly that they need to flaunt there business to the world. Well needless to say ignorance runs around more than the drunks on their bicycles (DUI being the cause of not riving) and when you know one cop you know them all...and probably are related to most.

So now you're picturing the Andy Griffith show right? Well sure you can picture that if you want but let's add some realistic elements to the picture. Instead of good old Barny you have a wife beating deputy. Instead of the local crew you have an abnormaly large population of child molesters, drug users/dealers who in turn happen to be informants for the police dept. and instead of Opie and his friends you have gang wanna-be's who drive around the center of town(which happens to be a circle) in their pimped out cars contributing to the continual gas hike. So as you can guess or deduce from that you can't really call this Mayberry. Sure, there are some genuinely nice, great, and awesome people here but the fact of this pungent ignorance remains.

You have people receiving tickets for expired registration stickers while the car is parked on private property but in turn you have child molesters that can touch your children all they want or people threatening your life and stealing from your car or house. NOFX was right to say "There's no point in democracy when ignorance is celebrated." So while shops on the circle (perfect real-estate) close at 4-5 pm to beat the rush of gang wanna be kids that just have to drive around in circles; the rest of us are forced to be ruled by the ignorance of others. Wake up and smell the damn coffee folks!
