I spent a year, one month in a red state. It was the most fucked-up place I had ever been, and "yes"! that one month felt like a fucking year.

I got out of there as fast as my car could handle the shitty, pock-marked roads.

The "slower pace of life", is just for the rich, white racists. The rest of the folks better keep their heads on a swivel.
