Keep talking. I love it when people prove my point for me.

In reality all states are red states with some big blue cities.

Yeah, unfortunately your little "theory" holds about as much weight as a dollar store paper towel. Look at the actual NUMBERS - 3M+ in California compared to 750,000 in S. Carolina. Plus, the rate of increase in CA rose 13.6% compared to 7.1% in SC.

I thought you just declared you were done conversing with me a page or two back? I really need to put together a list of the immutable laws of the internet. I will make law #1: "When thou vows not to speak to a mean poopypants on the internet ever again, thou shall recommence communication within no more than 4 hours."

And yet South Carolina has nearly twice the food stamp usage rate as California.

You're problem is you're bad at math. You start from a very low base and then even small increases look big as a percentage but the absolute numbers remain small. If I have $1 and gain another than I got a 100% increase but if I have $100 and get one more than that's only a 1% increase even though both parties just gained $1. You need to go back to school, son, because you're talking without understanding.

To be honest, yes. But only because I'm a female and black. The metro areas are okay but once I'm in the smaller towns, I just get uncomfortable especially if I happen to be lost.
