the north

The northern half of the United States, pretty much any region where the only people who say y'all are african american. A region of the United States that has less obesity,violent crime,poverty,and divorce than "The Bible Belt" i.e. The South. A region of the United States where people don't have the need to brag about how Godfearing and patriotic they are or how more American they are. A region of the United States that has a temperate 4 season climate, where it isn't scorching, unbearably hot much of the year. A region of the United States that contains it's largest,most productive cities and metro areas (yes, L.A. most deffinantly is not a southern city, and California is not The South.) The North has tremendous diversity in everything from politics to ethnic and racial groups contrary to what some southerners whine about. Massachusetts has had republican governors,no democrat, non-stop for the past 20 years, has a low crime rate, and the lowest divorce rate in the country. Fuck that fat drug addict,confirmed bachelor Rush Limbaugh. The cities with the lowest crime rates are in New Jersey,Conn,Cali, and Mass. The states with the highest crime rates,divorce rate,poverty,low sat scores,and obesity are southern.
