I hope all Appomattox businesses go out of business

[Lance]

Appomattox County (in which redneck is viewed as an honor) allows dog hunting for deer. Since dogs (and most countians) can't read, there is no such thing as private property in Appomattox Co. Hunting is a privilege; private property is a right. I am in favor of eliminating hunting until private property rights are restored. I'll buy *nothing* from any business in this county, and I'll send money to any politician who opposes hunting.

I used to live in Appomattox. I had dogs run across my property but they didn't really disturb anything. I even had a couple of the hunters come get their dogs. They were very polite. I found most of the people there to be intelligent hard working people. I would like to move back there when I retire.

Hard-working, ok, not so sure about intelligence...when my family moved there when I was a child, I thought I would DIE. The ignorance is profound. They are proud of this. According to statistics, 35 percent of the county don't even hold a GED! And those who hold the "power" don't have much more in the way of IQ or education, and they take great pains to keep any new, educated residents from holding office or otherwise becoming prominent in the community. The school system there is utter crap. Nothing for young people to do (except make meth). Picturesque, yes, but not much more.

I will admit my interactions were limited mostly to church people. I did not have encounters any meth cookers that I knew of. I do not have children so I do not know how the school system is. I still don't think it is fair to say the entire county is ignorant just because you encountered a few people who may have been uneducated. I had no problem finding intelligent enjoyable people while I was there. I have traveled the entire United States and have found that there are good, bad, intelligent and not-so intelligent people any where you go.
