Alas there a re thousands upon thousands of them. Unable to wake up from the cliches that rule them. My home town before I was born turned down a Paper Mill, a College and several other industries. The reason was simple these would have brought in people that might upset the local politics. After I was born they turned down a wamart and the few businesses that tried to make a start there failed. All to keep the status quo. The place has crumbled like many others. I drove through last year and it was really sad.
