I just heard that apparently there were still some places in Louisianna that didn't even have phone service, they just NOW got it. Now THAT is a hick state. How do you American... live... in... not have... phones?! I hope they have electricity. I am starting to wonder if there really are isolated towns in the middle of nowhere that exist in a state of complete technological lacking like how the south is stereotypically portrayed... That would be horrifying... And no, the Amish don't count.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
