Think of the stereotypical rural American. The bumbling, toothless,
barefoot, inbred, banjo-playing idiots that use backseats from cars as
couches on their dilapidated front porches and bathe on occasional
basis. If you've ever seen the cartoon "The Simpsons", there is a
character named Cletus who is the epitome of a hillbilly. Google for
"simpsons cletus" and you'll see what I am trying to describe in words
(which is really hard; it's more of a visual thing".


Upon encountering your first sentence, I was forced to conclude that you
have actually avoided the act of thinking while composing your response.
There is, as far as I can determine, no "stereotypical rural American."
There are hillbillies, yokels, rednecks, Missourians, etc., but these
classes are not _necessarily_ associated with rural America as we understand
"rural."

I suppose I'm just a dumb redneck from Missouri, then.

Not at all. Nothing should be concluded from the nonsense that
dribbles out of Armond Perretta.
