Kansas suffers from generational brain drain

I should know... I was born in Wichita, grew up in the suburbs of Johnson County KS... went to the Univ of Kansas, got married in Kansas, and got my first job in KC and lived in Lenexa, Altogether, 25 years there. Not only that, but all of my family on fathers side lived in Kansas.

I moved to find work (Computer Science)... and other to visit my family, I've never been back.

Kansas used to be (when I lived there) a moderate to lean Republican state. But very "live and let live". There were a few bible thumpers and the john birch society, but those folks were a distinct minority and everybody laughed at them.

Now... the only thing that explains what has happened in the last 30 years since I left... is that the smarter college educated people left.
