The state in which I live in.
While other states were building their economies in various ways,
WV spent too much
time and effort in coal. Which left everything else severely underdeveloped. When the coal companies left, which wasn't too long ago, they took with them what our state had been based on. So were basically behind everyone else. But we are catching up.
Yes, we do have shoes. Poverty has always ran rampant in this state and often times
people only could afford the bare necessities. And sometimes children have fun playing bearfoot. We are Mountaineers.
Incest...yes. The strong family ties and isolation has resulted in may a incestial relationship. But that has ended for the most part in this modern age. But
incest occurs in
Alabama, Iowa, in every state really.
Yes, we have accents. We live in hollers. We warsh. But I am proud of my accent and so should most
people. New Yorkers have an accent, so...
We are part of the South at hearts. We were a Union state but the Confederacy is much celecrated around here and many of our forefathers fought for that side. Especially here in southern WV.
Our main problem now is working-class men who fake back injuries so they can receive pain medication. And disabilty. Almost everyone does it. Some sell the
drugs to other
people, and make a profit.
