Like the post says, it's one thing to live in ignorance but to know the root causes and still refuse to make real changes is inexcusable. I don't know if this stems from a resistance to change, nostalgia, corruption or sheer stupidity but it's real. Those that think they are somehow maintaining a nostalgic, "hometown" feel to this area are out of their minds. It hasn't been a small town in 50 years nor have they allowed it to prosper with the amenities and infrastructure a metro area requires. With this mentality, this county will and should fall behind.
