Oh, I'm so USED to Indiana! I think that no place craps in it's own bed more and rolls around in it. It's a desperate place, from the long-embraced policies of forever breaking the colts, and putting screws on everybody so hard, there's scarcely a more tense place on earth.
Outside of the anti-welfare attitude, that spreads itself until it hurts everyone really really good, the schools have gone off the deep end, trying to breed corporate robots by starting in early August and keeping ridiculous hours in harsh weather. (And take that opinion from someone with a degree in Ed. from IU).
It's a weird place, really strung out on it's own extreme politics, and it thinks it leads the way for the rest of the nation. It's also proven very bad for my health at least several times, and since I was flooded from my home, and am now in Florida, I literally fear the idea of having to return there on business.
Never could I imagine the will of so many peope to end someone's life, and just for amusement.
I grew up in Indianapolis, and it was a saner place before NFL and NASCAR, even considering the Indy Star.
I have felt more safe in the toughest barrios of Los Angeles than I do in Indiana these days, and that's for certain.
It's what occurs when "inspiration" is no longer valued in education, only motivation and corporate achievement.
At least Amy Pohler has a job.
