[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whoever made the comment about interior America being dumb is on the money. As an immigrant, I always tell people that there are "two americas": the coasts and anywhere else. I was shocked when I moved to DC as to how sophisticated people were compared to the southern state I was living in. [/quote]

There are still some brilliant folks in the midwest and south (of course!) especially in the urban pockets. Plenty. But speaking in averages, think about an "average" person, and now realize that a whole 50% are below that person. To varying degrees (in intellect, savvy, hustle, plain common sense). So on average, the kids in DC (and the kids of parents on this board) are largely going to be highly successful because even the most average (OF THIS AREA) is leaps and bounds above the lower stats folks who didn't move to the coasts, or aren't the 1%ers in their own area.

Just saying, don't worry so much. There are tons of people out there who will be getting your fries. That's not going to change. [/quote]
