This is actually a follow-up to yesterdays post on Bakersfield being the stupidest, er.. "least educated" city in the country. On the late news last night they broadened the story to include "man on the street" interviews about what the locals thought about it. And the consensus view seems to be "that's fine if other people believe the report because otherwise the city would be overrun and ruined."
They really do believe they've discovered a little slice of Heaven here, a hidden jewel, a secret promised land. And if other people were to discover how wonderful Bakersfield is, they'd all rush to move here and it would spoil all the "specialness". So go ahead, you city slickers, believe all you want that this place is just a backwards, ignorant, hateful, polluted cesspool. Stay away! And leave this place to the backward, ignorant, hateful people it was meant for.
The story on the news, by the way, was preceded by two shootings, a gang rape and a cop that shot a family's dog.
Just another typical day in "Heaven".
