First the writer refers to Georgia as the dumbest state, then uses the corruption in Atlanta as proof. How dumb is that?
In fact, the communities north of the Atlanta 285 perimeter are populated by many corporations and highly educated people. They are some of the safest and wealthiest areas of the country, precisely because they are not part of The Dark Continent that is Atlanta.
Look up the median income for Johns Creek, for example. It was recently rated the third safest city its size nationally. While in Duluth GA, my son’s middle school quiz team scored in the top 5 out of over 1100 middle schools in an international quiz bowl contest. The year my daughter was one the team, it was #1 in the world. Their high school orchestra was ranked #1 nationally. The number of National Merit Scholars in these northern suburban schools each year is outstanding.
The bottom line is, it’s foolish to extrapolate the failures of the inner city Atlanta culture and other heavily minority areas to the rest of the state. Come see, and be informed.
They also elected BJ as their governor. They are one for two.
,,,, I think it’s West By God Virginia ,,, Manchin once a republican changes his affiliation to Dem. while 0bama threatens to shut down the coal industry . Figure that one out . DAH !
Atlanta IMO is the gathering place of all the nuts in the region.
Now I visit there and have friends there but the loony tunes wandering around are a sight...
I believe this started in the 60s when the hipsters migrated there to form an 'arts community'
You have to understand Atlanta. If you know what I mean. Its not GA its Atlanta. Think Martin Luther King.
Bttt
