Alabama

A state in the Southeastern U.S. Contrary to what some may some may claim, Alabama does indeed play host to certain literate individuals (including this definition's poster). Alabama does not consist of racists, hicks, and rednecks any more than any other state. Everyone has their share, and hopefully, is moving away from that sad reality. Alabama has several major cities, including Birmingham, Mobile, Huntsville, and Montgomery, as well as military bases of varying size and import. Alabama is politically conservative, at least on the national front, but that does not necessitate that every single individual is an obnoxious Bible-thumper intolerant of non-mainstream-Christian practices, beliefs, and lifesyles. Alabama's public education system could use some work, but that's true for many states. Alabama is inhabited by all kinds of people, so of course induvidual experiences will vary based on location. Northern Alabama is very different in many facets of culture from Central Alabama, and both are equally distinct from Southern Alabama. Similar, again, to every other political region larger than a few square miles.
