I didn't see any of the interviews on TV right after she won the
title. I have seen some since she has become established where she
has said she is from BB. I grew up in a small town where several
surrounding communtities had to attend the school in 'town'. When
asked where they are from the people say from whatever community,
not where they went to high school. I guess I don't understand why
the people from where Ali went to school would be pissed.
