90. generalizations like this are utterly ridiculous.
I live among "red necks". In fact, the majority of the people living in the Northeast Kingdom are rednecks, but evidently they're not much like rednecks in some other places, as they voted for Obama in my rural, poor, white, mountain, agrarian community. At the end of your post you acknowledge that there are exceptions in every group. Damn straight there are. In fact, that's the problem with your kind of generalization: there are almost always so many exceptions that the generalization is worthless.
