What the South and Atlanta can't handle a few inches of snow

   The amusing tale of Atlanta and how many drivers got stuck on the sprawl gridlock of that really ugly eyesore of a city just shows the pains of a driving Southern culture. No Southern cities ever came up with the concept of a reliable public transportation network for the growing Sunbelt region and they really show the delusional thoughts that a car dependent culture and environment will always last. There are a large group of American people who feel things will always remain the way they have been going and the home of the new South saw this week what an embarrassment it is. Atlanta folks have no clue how to transverse the roads when a little snow hits he ground and these rednecks that love their gas guzzling trucks and big vans are not going to slow down for no one including Mother Nature. The South will be a region that will have no quixotic way to get through life if having a car because too costly to continue.  Should we really be surprised that a city that has no idea on how to put a public transportation model would really know what to do with a sudden compression of quick snow into roadway ice. Atlanta is a city whose inefficiencies and lack of knowledge makes life difficult for people and it pretty much sums up most of the red states in this country. these are states that do not even want to spend money on its education system or take any health care reform from the government so of course they will spend as little as possible for ice storms. I got news for cities like Atlanta that had not been accustomed to snow and freezing rain in the past. The climate has changed and northern hemisphere regions away from the coasts are going to see alot more bad weather in the forms of flooding and brutal
