I'm not so sure it is just a state of mind. I feel sorry for people who never had the chance at a life that, in many respects, resembled Mayberry. It isn't fiction. It isn't a pipe dream. It was the way I was raised. I'm not the best dancer, so I don't think I would be very good at goose-stepping, either. Dang the bad luck.
“It isn’t fiction. It isn’t a pipe dream. It was the way I was raised.”
Exactly, bigheadfred! We just want our progeny to be able to have the same kind of life if they chose to. I’ve done the big city gig, and that’s great if that’s what people want. I don’t. And they don’t know any better.
Jefferson knew better.
