could very well be. While i really like the South on many levels and
enjoy living here, literacy is not valued here at all, even by the
upper classes. There isn't a single decent bookstore in the city of
Atlanta and possibly not even in the whole South. It doesn't seem to
trouble the natives in the least. For "readin n ritin stuff", the
wealthy here simply import Yankees to handle it.
There are small pockets of literacy and literature in the deep
South. They are generally confined to small groups of weirdos at
various universities. Beyond that is a vast nothingness of darkness.

"Least Competent People"
"Citing the high quality of the workforce in Ontario, Toyota decided
recently to build a second plant in the province (this time in
Woodstock) even though Ontario was offering only about half the
subsidy offered by Mississippi and Alabama to build the plant in one
of those states. According to a July Canadian Press story, a Toyota
spokesman said it had learned from Nissan and Honda, which had found
the workforce in the U.S. South to be often untrained and
illiterate, and that, in Alabama, trainers had to use pictorials to
teach some workers how to use the equipment. [Canadian Broadcasting
Corporation-CP, 7-5-05]"
