I’m sorry, but to me and many older Freepers all this is the hysterical whining of metrosexual pansies with a case of the vapors.
Much of the nation had dirt roads through the nineteen seventies and we were putting men on the moon then.
The idea that supposed adults could be panicking over the notion of driving on dirt makes me laugh.
I made it through this thread as long as I could without mocking them but enough is enough - this site is not safe space.
America used to be inhabited by actual men.
I assure you I am a real man, and I’m 57 years old. I recently just missed buying a house on a dirt road. I don’t have a personal problem with dirt roads; I have a problem with devolving in progress and civilization which I think this demonstrates. Think of the money we could save by letting sewage flow down our dirt road! Yes, we had dirt roads up to the 70s. I grew up living on one. It’s called progress and the fact that we can’t now afford to maintain our roads is not a positive sign.
I am not a “metrosexual pansy”, and are you really that much older than me?
