Nice a Place to Visit

If you belong to the Tea Party, then this is the place for you. They are still fighting the Civil War here, so Yankees will have a hard time fitting in. These people are very conformist and only talk about church, football, guns, Alabama, the South, their hatred of Obama, and their kids and grandkids. God forbid if they should have a deeper thought. I have seen throughout the community a desire on the part of people who don't know what they are talking about to run things, and they will cause fights and disruptions in order to be in control. There are some nice people here, but they have become harder and harder to find. The people here don't carry on discussions, instead think they are debates, will interrupt you because they're not really listening, will try to impose their views on you, are only concerned about themselves, and may even talk at the same time you're talking to them, even when you are trying to give them important information they need. They don't seem to know how to be good friends unless you're a conformist like them. Prejudices and self imposed segregation are also still strong here. On the plus side, it is a beautiful area, and if you like history, there are many Civil War battlegrounds nearby. At one time, there was some excitement about the space program here, but now it's all about the military. The comments other people have made on Huntsville are spot on.
