Rural does not = poor, nor does it = the lack of intelligence that your post seems to indicate.
Your right it does not.. if you own a ranch or a good amount of land. Now if you live in a rural neighborhood it most likely does. I have stopped by many rural towns (i live in Texas) going to other cities and the abundance of ignorant people is far behind your imagination.

Now that may not be true in your rural town but it certainly is in most towns in Texas, which is a state most people associate with rednecks.

It's sad really, why can't they stick to less dangerous and non addictive drugs like marijuana?
I wish they would, but they probably won't considering most rural meth users think grass is for hippies and college students.
They should stick to alcohol since their town probably isnt heavily populated.
I also wish were i live(city of the most drunk driving accidents in the USA)they would stick to marijuana(if they already aren't users) because its sad when about 1/3 persons driving after 9:00PM is drunk.
