I was born in York & am happy to have left there 44 years ago. When I've tried to have discussions with the denizens, I've encountered firmly entrenched anti-intellectualism and lack of curiosity about anything outside of very narrow views fueled by rush limbaugh. One of the posters suggested trying to talk to these people. Believe me, there is no talking to them. They're also very racist as a group, so they'll use whatever excuse they can to not vote for a half-black man. Don't bother them with facts. Of course, they don't have the monopoly on willful ignorance. There are plenty of pockets of it in Ohio, Arizona, and on and on.
