City vs Country. This is what it has come down to in everything both logically and culturally. All of it comes down to this cultural divide concerning common sense and rationality. One has it, the other does not.

When I was coming of age in the late 1960s-early 70s, the hippies were all about ‘Nature’ and ‘going back to the land.’ It was to a great extent sincere - if somewhat naively so - and wasn’t really politicized, yet.

I guess some of them are conservatives, now; but most of them don’t seem to have really understood the distinction between truly living from the land, with all its exigencies - or just talking about it, in rebellion against the ‘order’ they perceived. Nor did they really pass any intelligent values on to their children.
