I don't think your assessment of the Academy is entirely accurate. Remember, you're only seeing the people who didn't get out. But there are hundreds of us in other cities, with real jobs, actual lives, and who don't think that getting drunk in the woods is a decent way to spend a weekend.
There will be people who just stay where they are no matter where you go - and there will be people who get out, move on, see the world, discover how insular their particular situation was. In other words, fucked up people are everywhere - but wherever you are, you aren't seeing the people who got away, because they are, well, away.
yeah a whole damn townload of them i guess. but i can't see living in like, a normal place that is not so sheltered and dysfunctional... and even if you remain there forever, at least you have the experience of meeting new people and seeing different cultures and having some kind of grasp on what life outside of some tiny hickass farm town is like. its just sad. i feel bad for them because its not their fault. but still. its infuriating listening to all of these people interact. they are remarkably closed minded and just plain dumb

I was lucky because I moved so much as a kid, I'd lived in a predominantly black neighborhood in Norwich and a predominantly Mexican neighborhood in Colorado before I ever settled down in East Bumfuck, CT. Plus, I am me. I have a suspicion that, given my personality, I'd have figured my way out no matter what.
Anyway, alls I am saying is you should come visit me in Boston. I don't have my car here (my parents need it more there) so I can't go anywhere. But I am here almost every weekend and would love to bum around the city with you, whenever you want.
...u talk all this big junk in big words and fancey ejacation and still dont explain what "Adore" is? Is that a fuckin country in India or somethin. Seriously. Even ur smart friend cant figure that thang out... ; )
