Question

Why are the smartest states in the US democratic?? why is central US so redneck?

Answer 1

Democratic and smart don't go together at all ! Never have.

Answer 2

I live in the midwest and we aren't rednecks.  BTW what do you class as redneck?

I think those of us that live in the center/midwest US are friendly, resilant, hard workers, go-getters.

These last few months we've been dealt with lots of flooding and we looked to our neighbors for help, besides helping ourselves.

Answer 3

Better question is why when the United Nations tests over 30 countries in different categories did the United States not make the top 3, not even once. In fact they scored in the bottom in seven tests.

Answer 4

During the days of westward expansion most of the quitters stopped half way to their destination.
