....I’ve praised some rednecks many times for their ingenuity...

My, how genourous of you...to praise *some* of those rednecks...who are responsible for bringing food/supplies to your ‘refined citizens’ city.

Sheesh. Look down your nose, much?

I suggest you take a minute, or two, and watch this...

The contempt for those average Americans who are not sophisticated city folks is tangible.

Why?

Because we know how to and enjoy growing our own food?

Know how to entertain ourselves without going to the theater?

Prefer to talk face to face instead of texting someone with whom we are having dinner while they are sitting across the table from us?

We prefer to bake bread and make homemade soups instead of microwaving everything?

Prefer and like peace and quiet and listening to the birds wake us up instead of the early morning sounds of the trash trucks emptying the dumpsters outside our windows at 5 AM?

Because some don’t have useless degrees in psychology, sociology, or gender studies?

Or we’re not financial advisers who are up to our eyeballs in debt?

Because we can leave out doors and cars unlocked during the day and know that everything we have will not disappear when our back is turned?

Trying to figure out what’s so backwards about those rural folks who have neighbors they actually talk to and can trust.

FOP’s posts remind me of the Peter Gabriel song “Big Time”. Looking down on small town folks.

They think so small
They use small words
But not me
I’m smarter than that

Except Gabriel was lampooning those bigots who actually believe it, like Michael Bloomberg just a few weeks ago.

Yeah, miss small popularity contest piranha. I'm one of those rednecks, having been around quite a while and lived in inner cities, suburbs and country--mostly rural. It gets old, seeing nattering harridans gossiping, undermining and stabbing their working class peers in their backs and dragging them down instead of encouraging them to educate themselves and rise to compete in business.

Most recently, many of them been pushing their neighbors to catch an often debilitating disease. Their communities already have enough trouble with drug addiction, promiscuity, broken families and lack of manufacturing jobs for men.

We can do much better.

And yes, some. Only a minority, mostly spread out over smaller acreages. The majority of people in rural areas are not farmers. Many who pose as farmers (political class people from large cities) have the few real custom farmers going from place to place to do the work.

In regards to many who are not farmers, these places are human wastelands of vices, crime and social diseases. Much has changed over the past two generations with wrongful social and legal policies implemented throughout. Otherwise, more real farmers would be getting more necessities produced in their own communities.

As for the education, I earned it, and none of it was spoon-fed by overpaid socialists with personal axes to grind.
