I was born and raised in West Virginia, lived in Virginia and now I am back in West Virginia. This is "not" about having a sense of humor, this "about" be offensive and rude to those of us who are "Mountaineers". Evidently my ancestors who left Virginia, Maryland, Pa. and traveled by horseback, on foot and by wagon to Western Virginia thought it was "worth a lot" to make that trip. I feel sorry for you, if that is all that you got out of your time spent in WV, it is a beautiful state with some of the greatest people on earth. I have traveled across the US and the British Isles, if one has ever been to Wales you will see a strong resemblance to WV, and I love coming home to these mountains.
