It's even pretty bad near the big cities here in TX (we relocated for a job here about 10 yrs ago). I post on here because the only thing I can talk to people about down here is my kids. I can't go near the topics of politics, religion or damned near anything else without getting blank stares. And even discussing children it's iffy ...
