Moved to a rural area in n.e. Bama from a large northern town seeking solitude and safety,I've been in a state of shock ever since ...four years ago. Alabama is unlike any other place..and I've lived in ten different states all over...to give you a prime example, I have a neighbor who is in his early 20s...hes between 400 and 500 lbs, walks around with no shirt even in winter, cannot read or write enough to get any job at all...too lazy to get farm jobs or unskilled jobs, carries around a 2 liter of mountain due every place he goes...actually graduated high school despite his illiteracy, and has permanent dirt marks on the back of his neck and on fat rolls that he doesn't even prob know about because he doesn't see them nor shower...his family has many family members who've died in their late 30s, early 40s because of diabetes despite their consumption of sugar, thry think it's normal...they also are unable to have children , some of them...vecause after inbreeding for so long generations DNA automatically stop,being able to...its crazy...atereotypss exist for a reason..especiallt here in the south.
