Good point. What I find most interesting is how split the u.s. is. Coasts vote one way, the rest go another. Interesting. Oh and you gota throw Ill. in w/ the coasts due to Chi town.
Having lived on both coasts, the south, and the midwest, I have to say I like the middle/south much better. People are far nicer.
Example. In Oklahoma people hold doors for laides, let 'em cut in line, and actually chat pleasantly with each other while waiting in line, say at the gas station.
In Chicago if you speak to someone else in line, it's generally askin' for their wallet at gun/knife point.
After living in oklahoma for a decade (aaarrrggg! get me the heck out of here!!) when I went to my home town of St.Louis I was blown away at how RUDE everyone was in comparison.
I once had car troubles in Oklahoma City, and had no less than six people pull over to offer me either a ride, or use of their cell phone within 5min.
GOOD luck getting anyone to do that in L.A.
Something to be said for southern values.
