red sox 777 05/13/12 3:05:00 PM #37:	Ah yep, that's true. West Virginia has coal mines, but the connection isn't as strongly embedded in the national ethos as corn for Nebraska or potatoes for Idaho. Plus, who wants to be connected to coal mines? Also, I think a part of the problem is West Virginia's disassociation with other states. Plucky Rhode Island may be smaller in mass and population, but at least it's part of New England. Kentucky is part of the South/Bible Belt. Kansas and Nebraska make up the heartland. West Virginia... is what IS WHAT Kentucky actually has the exact same problem. Before 1860 it was clearly part of the South and it's below the Mason-Dixon line. But then those states didn't secede (at least according to Northern textbooks), so are they still part of the South or what? However, as is the general rule in the law of contracts, perhaps we should say that this is no one's fault but the people of West Virginia. They voluntarily chose to secede from Virginia, and they should have foreseen that 150 years later it would leave their descendants in limbo without a region to be connected to in the national ethos. -- Congratulations to SuperNiceDog, Guru Winner, who was smart enough to pick your 7 time champion, Link. <cite>red sox 777 posted [p:1139235] in Is West Vi...

West Virginia has coal mines, but the connection isn't as strongly embedded in the national ethos as corn for Nebraska or potatoes for Idaho.Plus, who wants to be connected to coal mines?Also, I think a part of the problem is West Virginia's disassociation with other states. Plucky Rhode Island may be smaller in mass and population, but at least it's part of New England. Kentucky is part of the South/Bible Belt. Kansas and Nebraska make up the heartland. West Virginia... is whatIS WHATKentucky actually has the exact same problem. Before 1860 it was clearly part of the South and it's below the Mason-Dixon line.

How dare you insult the great state of Montana. 2 national parks, loads of beautiful mountains, a high standard of living, and lots of open space free from trees that allows you to see a big open sky, and for a while the only unlimited speed limit in America, and you say there's nothing notable about it?!?

PartOfYourWorld 05/13/12 6:46:00 PM #50:	From: LeonhartFour \| #048 But you're basically saying it's better to be known for having nothing than not to be known for anything. Being known and recognized is one way to define "consequential." I think West Virginia is the most inconsequential state because despite its out-populating like a dozen other states, it still seems to be known and discussed the least. It has no sports teams. It has no large, recognizable cities. It is not immediately connected to anything either remarkable or mundane - not beaches or rolling valleys or politics or big sky or corn. It is not even immediately recognized as part of the four major US geographic regions. Is it a Southern state or a Midwestern state? Who is the most famous West Virginian alive today? In history? There's nothing going for this poor state. Its biggest claim to fame is literally the "Virginia" after West. That's the only thing that keeps it lingering on like a wisp in America's consciousness. If it had a different name not associated with any other state, it would be even less consequential, a baffling realization. -- http://oi52.tinypic.com/ad21i1.jpg Watch and you'll see... someday I'll be... part of your world! <cite>PartOfYourWorld posted [p:1139248] in Is West Vi...
