Truly the salt of the earth. I’ve got neighbors who’d give you the shirts off’n their backs if you was in need, share their meals if you was hungry, and put you up for the night, need be.

One of my best friends cuts my other neighbors grass just to keep busy, and he’s proud as punch to be called mountain folk. And there is that stereotype oh hillbillies laying around and being lazy.

Well I know farmers who work sun up to sun down, and still run circles around city folk. Truth be known, there are every type of person, one end of the scale to the other everywhere you go on this planet.

You’ll know the good souls by their actions, and the bad ones will prove their own worth themselves.

That is why jewelry and fancy clothing sell so well: Everyone wants to be better than then next fellow. Truth be told, the world over, people are only hillbillys. True character is shown in tough times when people are pressured to act naturally under trying circumstances. In hard times, hillbillys usually fair better than the rich and famous because their survival skills have been developed everyday. Before being country and hillbilly was considered anywhere near proper or acceptable, humble country folk were teaching the Golden Rule to their children, preparing them for realities of life.

Thanks for the article on Hillbillys: the salt of the earth.

LOL This was hilarious! Thanks for the laugh. I was raised in Kentucky and now live in Tennessee. I remember when I first moved down here years ago that Tennesseans made fun of ME and called me a hillbilly because I came from Kentucky! They thought it was really funny that I called all Coke products ‘pop’ and called the movie theater ‘the show’. Well, that’s what they are! Shows what they know. Dang hillbillies!

I really like that idea about doing a national geographic show about Hillbillies… sort of like you see those naked tribes in Africa.

What a walk back through time, I too am from Kentucky, and remember being called hillbilly. The only people who said it in an insulting way was all those Buckeye cousins.I look forward to reading more!!!

I am really hoping that this isnt a true story but it is a good one. I have actually been to Norris Lake quite a few times and use to even keep a boat there. I can confirm that they do talk funny there
