Seems to me that rednecks are-on average-much happier with who and what they are and where and how they live than any yuppie ever thought about.
Appalachia has little to offer the world.
Because fracking doesn't create many jobs.

Your comment is unmeaning and hollow. Maybe it's easily pardoned because you don't know what your saying. But to think millions of people have nothing to offer is just not thinking. People are the whole drive behind economic activity and economic activity does not always have to involve resource extraction! People can value activity of a different sort like that of community building and offering opportunities that people are grateful to have. Of course this implies a fundamental change in the meaning of profit (for some reason it's suppose to be the only incentive of life) but such an overhaul is essential for meaningful advancement.
For you to say a blatantly untrue blanket statement shows to me that you've never been to Appalachia. So I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you just werent thinking when you typed your reply. But if you stand by your allegation, then you are swiftly condemning the pristine wildlife, long stretches of rural land, a beauty that is my sanctuary not to mention those who live here. Without these vast sanctuaries I'd be more sympathetic to your denunciation, but as it stands, you are way off base.
As for your other comment, you are correct. Fracking is not a significant source of jobs, even given its national and international markets. It mostly pools money at the top. But we are pursuing it fast enough to cause Earth quakes in Ohio.
