Well, unfortunately this is not a surprise. Las Vegas also comes in dead last in a list of intelligent cities. Yes, this place has a long way to go before we get some respect. Part of it is the transitory nature of many of the folks who live here - a lot of them are working on getting rich quick. Some of it has to do with the hands-off libertarian experiment that says government shouldn't try to help improve schools, bring in museums, cultivate the arts, etc. And, honestly, this is a new town that grew out really fast without taking the time to worry how to grow *up*.
Either way, at least we've still got the meth-head zombie horde in Fresno to kick around.
