Lets look at one of the biggest problems today. People with depression or mental issues can't afford to see a Psychiatrist or a therapist on a regular basis. We have two good insurance policies and we still pay about $10,000 a year out of pocket for doctors and medication. It's never going to get better until the laws are changed to provide better mental health coverage. Just look at all of the recent gun crimes. All of them have been linked the suspects to mental health problems.

They also fight the truth down here while putting on pretenses that they have morality. Statistics don't lie and neither does what I see and hear around me. And maybe one day when I get a chance I will be glad to get out of this cave known as the southeast.

It's not surprising because the quality of living in this part of the country is substandard because of higher than average social dysfunctions, higher than average crime rate, and with inexcusable noise and pollution even in rural areas, and a high unemployment rate. Many find death a better alternative than living in this backwards environment if they have a hard time getting out of it. Redneck inbreds and a crooked lazy system are part of the problem.
