Maybe some aren’t fit to be FReepers, however it’s not because they live in small towns. Or is it your contention that FR is an urbanite forum? Note that I live in a city that’s almost exactly the same size as San Diego, and it’s a part of a much larger GMA.
Having studied and kept up daily with world affairs, politics, etc. for over 45 years (including the over 40 years I worked full time.) ret. as a Legal Support Asst. with the County Attys. I find many FReepers base their comments on emotion, the area they live in, many not having background in the give and take of dealing with
a city of over 1,250,000 population and San Diego County over 3 million.
Also the largest concentration of military.
Also tens of thousands of illegals costing us mega millions a year.
I have relatives and know many others
who live in small towns and those who don’t venture out of their area see life in a very narrow way.
A very fortress mentality.
