Where in the world do you come up with such drivel?

The dumbing down of America is squarely rooted in the fly over states.

Sure, it hasn't yet reached the metropolis of Maine.

So you think that "metro" and education go hand in hand? It's more about well funded schools, high school graduation rates and family dynamics.....how's the South doing with this?

I'm not equating metro and education. You called out flyover states, which commonly refers to rural areas between more heavily populated metros. That seemed ironic coming from someone representing the state of Maine. I suppose that was supposed to be a shot at North Carolina, but then again, surely an educated man like yourself realizes NC isn't a flyover state.

Why does someone who disparages the South spend time soliciting opinions from those at a southern university?

As someone who grew up in the Northeast, spent significant time in Maine and has lived in NC for 22 years, you can keep Maine sir. I'll take the South's quality of life any day of the week. Might want to travel out of the Northeast every now and then, it's a whole new world out there.
