Northwest Arkansas is lousy with beautiful scenery of rolling hills, lakes, trees, and pretty much anything naturally occurring in nature in this Natural State. Unfortuately, it also has WAY too many people living up here. Attracted to a part of the state without an overbearing percentage of pine trees, these people have all decided that it is a good idea to settle within 20 or so miles of each other. This is not by any means a large state. Were I to make such a rash statement, Alaskans would tease me mercilously. It is, however, by no means a small state. We look down on the pitiful lack of elbow room in many-a-New England state. My point being, that there is no reason for this many people to live within such a small area. Every one of these idiots owns a car too! They own cars, and have nothing better to do than go out driving on a Saturday. I guess I shouldn't be too upset with the arrangement. Most people seemed to be shopping today, which is definately a good sign seeing as everyone is proclaiming that we are on the brink of a recession the likes of which has not been seen for a very long time. I must protest, however, the seemingly uniform lack of common sense that occurs when so many people place their automobiles within such close proximity. Most of our readers are aware that the collective IQ of a specific group of people inevitably declines as the number of people is increased. The collective ability to drive (and use turn signals!) declines at approximately the same rate as IQ with an ever increasing population of motorists.
I wonder how many of these idiots are driving around without insurance and/or the ability to speak english.
Rant over.
