I am darned proud to be an Arkansan. It has a unique beauty to it that defies description, and the people are the friendliest people in the USA. I can see that Arkansas is taking a bashing because of it's so-called backwardness. If someone can explain to me how that progress makes a state appealing, then perhaps I could understand their backward, insensitive, high brow attitude. These are exactly the kind of people we don't have in Arkansas!!! And we care not to. Arkansas has remained pure, even though progress in Little Rock has almost ruined it. Arkansas isn't some hick state; it's a state of mind. People that don't live here just don't get it!
