OK got your point, but you are funny, I think I hit a Doug nerve.
See Doug, you can't have a rational conversation with name calling, can you? A lot of what we put up with is just that, from bashing Bush to thinking we are blind follows of Rush, we try to explain all of it in a rational manner but hell, the way Liberals are, they don't want debate just a lot of name calling and yelling.
Most of what we put up with, those who are not part of the enlighten crowd is what you are complaining about. I understand it is frustrating, but welcome to our world.
Serious Doug I will stop for you but read my post and think about the subject.

Calm down Dougie, it's just an Internet Web forum.
Because of the mass migration of Kentuckians to Michigan during the auto boom years, Hazel Park has long been known as Hazeltucky. I know that because it's referred to a lot down where I live, 9 miles north of Hazel, Kentucky, on the state line north of Paris, TN and it's a well known nickname for the town. Heck, man, even Wiki says so right under the picture of the town. Hazel Park, Michigan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After actually being there, though, I figured the real story behing the nickname was because everybody sports mullets, drives rustangs, pick up trucks, wears wife beaters and drinks beer, juuuust like us folks do down home in Kaintuckee. Yee-haw, Bubba! Hey, watch this!

Yep, there you go, the Turtle has spoken....
But wait there's more.....
a lot of people from Benton Kentucky ended up in housing which stood at what is now 9 mile/I75, Benton just up from Murray. A number of them ended up working for one auto supplier in the late 40's after returning from the war till the place closed but this migration not only provided the labor for the auto industry, it also spurred a rather lucrative Moon Shine side business that supplied the Detroit area for years. When I75 was built, this scattered many of the inhabitants from Benton, forever breaking up the moon shine industry of hazeltucky.

Benton, KY, Marshall County, still has a decent moonshine business. So do most of the counties down around there. 
Anybody who has driven on I-24 and crossed the bridge near the dam has driven right through moonshine country.
When they dammed up the Tennessee River to build Kentucky Dam, creating Kentucky Lake, and then the Cumberland River to build Barkley Dam, creating Lake Barkley, there were a lot of people living on land that got flooded, as well as on the land in between the lakes, now called, oddly enough, Land Between the Lakes (National Recreation Area). The TVA and ATF finally cleaned it up in the mid or late 70's (at least they think they did), but it was Moonshine Central, nationally known for it's high quality of corn whiskey. The folks from Benton were part of that bunch. It was so famous that even today at the Golden Pond Visitors Center, the primary gateway into the LBL, there is a moonshine still proudly on display.
