IOW, this is more an issue of the country that Artkansas lives in, not the individual state or town. Looking back at this thread should convince you of that fact.
Well, there is something to be said for changing countries too, sometimes.
As an immigrant I can certainly attest to that. But even in the U.S. there must be less backwards and aggressive places than Artkansas's hometown. And it's not just about backpacks.
