Consider the following story, and tell me what the DU response should be?

[OmahaBlueDog]

Come and listen to a story about a man named Jed
A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed,
Then one day he was shootin at some food,
And up through the ground came a bubblin' crude.

Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea.

Well the first thing you know ol' Jed's a millionaire,
Kinfolk said Jed move away from there
Said Californy is the place you ought to be
So they loaded up the truck and moved to Beverly.

Hills, that is. Swimmin pools, movie stars.

How does a true DUer react to this story?

1. By explaining that there wasn't much to choose from on TV back then... n/t

[NRaleighLiberal]

2. Other - I've always disliked that show!

Never liked Petticoat Junction either (same writer) - Green Acres had a few good moments...

3. Don't know what

a "true DUer" is, but this DUer says...

I liked that show as a child, and when I got older and understood some of the jokes, I thought it was hilarious.

4. In the real world, they would find a way for him to get evicted from his property and

Existing Oil companies would mine his property.

It was alright as a show. I couldn't really get in to it, I think the age/culture gap was too much.

5. Actually the Koch brothers would buy him out for

some magic beans after the local politicians they owned condemned Jed's land.

[Xyzse]

6. True...

[geardaddy]

7. This is the correct answer.

[name not needed]

8. Cue idiotic rambling involving pitchforks and guillotines.

[hamsterjill]

9. Duh! The correct response would be...

"Weeeeellllllll, doggie!"

[warrprayer]

10. "Beverly Hillbillies"

reinforces stereotypes used to exploit the people of Appalachia.
Pounding into their hearts the feeling of being lower class and worthless is a tactic used for over a hundred years by the mining companies and now by polluters like Freedom industries.

it is a mockery of Steinbecks "Grapes of Wrath".
