Your “anger” schtick is getting old, freedumb2003. You’ve demonstrated throughout this thread that you don’t understand people like me. I live in a county with over 300,000 people. That’s pretty urban to most of the country. I’m just out in the far reaches, more horsey than agricultural these days. But, that’s neither here nor there.

Who’s angry and who’s not is evident. Whose mind is open and whose is not is evident as well. I live where I live and enjoy it. You’ve apparently lived a bedouin life from city to city. Here’s to hoping that you find whatever it is that you’re chasing after. Maybe you’ll finally be happy and at peace, and the constant little digs directed at anyone with the temerity to live differently from you or to see things differently from you will disappear from your communications.

I suspect not, but again, there’s always hope.

>>Your “anger” schtick is getting old, freedumb2003. <<

Yet you are the one angrily posting.

300,000 people is a tiny town in most of the US. It just means we have a different perspective of what “big” is. But the difference is most Americans live in big cities (or thereabouts).

I made no suggestions as to “open mind” or not. I also have already noted that your desire to live out in the rural areas seems to suit you quite well. I made no judgement on your decision.

I chase nothing. I go where I am assigned. I am a computer consultant and travel is part of the deal (getting near 3 million miles this year). On the one hand it can be a bit grueling. OTOH, I get to experience a LOT of the USA -— places people who settle in don’t ever get to see nor experience.

I have made no “digs” (slight or otherwise). I have made fact-based comments on the fact that most of the USA is city/suburb based. Why this upsets so many here is a bit of a puzzlement to me.

But in the impending “collapse” you had better take this fact into consideration when making your plans.

And yes, a 300,000 town is a tiny berg. You would sneeze and it would be in the rear view mirror.
