Buttercup if you don't live in the Shoals and not involved here why do you give a rip about the area? Why not just write the area off? Do you feel a need to "educate" us and "bring us to today's world"? Thanks but I prefer the moral standards of the area, where wrong is wrong. That is not to say the people of the area are perfect but that the pattern of most of the people is to strive to live upright. You can keep the change and no thanks for the "help." Why not try to help the area where you do live? (and stay out of the Shoals business?)
And where in the forum rules does it state I have to be a "Shoals Resident" to post here? It doesn't. I might also post on the forums of the Des Moines Register, and I don't live there either. So to answer your question I'll stay out of the Shoals' business when and if I decide to.

Really? Does that include the whopping slew of meth users and pedophiles in the area - whose mug shots I see on the front of the TDF every other week? Does "where wrong is wrong" also include the reputation for low wage jobs the area is known for?
It's an illusion to think that the problems of the immoral world don't touch that little corner of Alabama, Shoals Resident. It's a cliche, but there is actually good and bad everywhere.
