68. If it's any consolation
the kind of "ignorant and proud of it" atttitude that you find in your town is also found in parts of rural Minnesota (one of my cousins married into a family like that) and even in irreligious rural Oregon.

The attitude is, "This is the greatest town in the world. Why go anywhere else?" Kids are scolded for "reading too much" and "putting on airs."
