These are the descendents of the people that hated when the federal government showed up to force them to free their slaves. Their hate of the federal govt goes back to Reconstruction.
My father was an incorrigible hoarder, but my mother had been culling his shit for years ever since he got too sick to stop her. Now that he's buried she's culling the last of it all, which is still a lot. She is not a hoarder but we kids have no use for her stuff even tho it's quality. Estate sale is what it's gonna be.
It is simple maths.
Think of how stupid the average person is.
Statistically, mathematically, incontravertably, if that is a bell distribution, then half of the people are even stupider than that!
