I think the trailer trash comment is the most profound in this thread. Look at the states Kerry held, CA, NY, DC and most of the east coast, unfortunatly there are more uneducated than educated folks in the USA.
I have lived outsid the US for 7 years now and see what the rest of the world sees and the US is an embarrasment. Don’t have any desire to return and it will only get worse over the next 4 years.
