  I myself am from wv and am pretty damn proud of my state. the memories as being a kid from so far down in the mountains that the sunshine had to be piped in is ok with me and as far as laugh at us at least they are leaving someone else alone. but one very important thing if it wasn't for us folks from the hills the rest of the world wouldn't know anything about job security. thats why alot of us still work in the coal mines.makes ya'all think huh

  i myself am from wv yes there is no place like home and as long as you have that feeling then the rest can just pass me by its all about being happy and contentment. I remember granny being in the garden and grandpap telling us that we are from so far in the mountains that they have to pipe in the sunshine and I still love going home to find that inner peace. but no work verry good article I enjoyed it thank you.but also remember one important thing if it wasn't for the hillbillies the rest of the world wouldn't know anything about job security.

  First off, does anyone realize that West Virginia is made up of a lot more than white folk. I am from West Virginia and happen to be African-American and my dad was born and raised in Gerradstown WV, where it all began. This story while amusing as it may be, does not full represent all folks of West Virginia and this may be why we catch so much slack from the rest of the world. Please open your eyes wide and look around West Virginia Sirs to get a complete understanding of the current times you are living in.. This is ridiculous..
