[QUOTE="JB Books, post: 1479936, member: 6889"] Do you listen to the evening news or read local newspapers? They all the time are stating how we rank low in health, education, life expectancy, etc. As for attorney pay, I'm doing OK, so I don't understand that comment. Not being an ass about spelling or word use, I make my own share of mistakes, but did you mean to type "accepting" as in the Public accepts others? If so, I disagree somewhat, the recent flap over the Muslim LEO Day shows that there are many here who do not accept others. If you meant excepting as in "excepts from the group," I'd tend to agree with more. One only need look at the various churches to see how many of the people treat one another. As far as me not fitting in, I am a 6'1, 300lb blue eyed white redneck, everywhere I look in Oklahoma, I see people like me. I'm not trying to destroy anything. This is my home, a lot of my family is here, and I have been afforded the opportunity to do very well here, so do not think I am bashing Oklahoma, I am not. I am simply saying that like many other places, we have a lot of problems. Why sugarcoat them? I think we have a little higher level of hypocrisy here. I see in in my practice. I see it in business. Maybe it is because of the large numbers of churches, maybe it is a reluctance to initially say what we really mean, but there are lots of folks with a sense of entitlement or hypocritical attitude. Of course that's everywhere, but it's just a tad bit more ironic here where the contrast is so obvious. I grub my share and more. ;) [/QUOTE]
