Perhaps you are unintentionally using this term derogatorily due to ignorance. When I was in grade school, Webster's defined a hillbilly as a Michigan dirt farmer. My position is much like that of Limblessbiff, and I find my 2A supporting, MAGA voting, hillbilly neighbors and friends to be some of the finest souls on this green earth.

Out here in the sticks it's usually enlightened urban dwelling liberal twits that visit to drop off unwanted furniture, pets, and yard debris that they can't be bothered to recycle, rehome, compost, or dispose of properly.

On several occasions, I have had the neighbors workers take a dump in my field.

One time the electric power people were putting in new transformers and one of the workers stole my 5 gallon bucket and took a dump in the creek.

I contacted the electric power people and they got me two new buckets. That is the only time I have had things go my way. They were more then sorry that it happened.

Another time I caught Verizon's contractors taking a break and hiding on our private road. They must have been there a long time because there were many cigarette butts on the ground. I made them pick up every one.

Another thing that burns me up are the helium balloons that people buy and then release them with most of them ending up in the trees on my property.

Dumping ones trash by the side of the road exists all over the world. I have heard however that Switzerland and Singapore are quite clean and free of litter.

Hillbilly is a derogatory term that only hillbilly’s can use.

You can’t use it but I can.
