Actually, only half of Maryland is stereotypically rednecky, thank you very much. It's called the eastern shore. I'm on the western portion. And even the eastern shore is cleaner than NYC.

Why would anyone think pride is stupid?
Pride is something that drives us to do better, to have goals, and to accomplish something notable.
Humans are communal creatures, so we naturally have pride at the different community levels as well - that is only natural, and admirable, I believe.
