6. Yes, Ga.'s bad, but SC is worse!

I've had the misfortune of living in SC, TX, Pa. & Ga. I didn't realize how good things were (politically) in Pgh, until I was relocated to SC. It's like another world! Things existed there that I never dreamed still existed anywhere, like the KKK marches, a water fountain down a side street in downtown Greenville that still had a sign "Blacks only" hanging over it. Tx. wasn't much better, and in some things they were worse. We moved to Tx. just after GWB was elected Governor. He destroyed the State from what it was like when Ann Richards was Gov. Then we moved to Ga. I don't have to tell you all the problems here, but the 3 southern states we lived in all share some awful traits. Hatred of all Blacks, a majority of RW extremists who would destroy anyone who even leaned toward being a Democrat, and successfully putting fear in me of showing or saying my Dem. beliefs because they'd key my car, verbally threaten my life, or outright shoot you!

I too keep hoping that there will be enough people who move here from the North that it will change the State to at least purple, but I've been here 1 years and I think I'll be dead and gone before that ever happens.
