Maybe it should have been a warning, walking into the palace of capitalism, the house of low end culture, the mall.  Why do I forget that Columbia, Missouri. Is CENTRAL Missouri?  Where less than 20 years ago, they would wave the confederate flag after a touchdown.  My god, what was I thinking.  We walk into the mall and what do I see, the biggest, ugliest, chaw chewing redneck in my life.  And he had the gall to scoff at me when I opened the door.  Sorry chum, you can't put the sweater from sears on layaway, fucker.  Next time a redneck givesme some shit, well, I probably won't do anything about it.  I'll probably just write it down here.
I need to get out of here before I start to hate it.
