Mups, I think it's just not full of losers. The caliber of people I know from my home town.. It's a level of white trash that most people can never recover from.
We were so close to normal civilization, however, that some people weren't so bad, but now continuing to live there and put their kids through school there... It's regression. Some people have moved away, are in plays/acting or are singing but it's not many. Most of then still buy weed from so-and-so, work a job just as shitty as when they were in high school, and haven't changed at all, besides adding kids.
I don't care what they do with their life, but my biggest fear was having kids and sending them to school with the offspring of these assholes, thinking that way of life is normal. Doing something with your life should be normal, and I was always made to feel like an outcast for wanting something more. Any time I run into people, they find out what I do and what I've done (which isn't much -- *gasp* went to college, got a job doing what I enjoy and was well promoted, got married, bought a house) and they look at me like, "Man that seems like a lot of work." and proceed to tell me how much weed they sold last week out if their parents' basement. Where we live now, the schools are amazing and the people sell weed out of their own basements.
