Many people who live in big east or west coast cities i.e. libs have a dim idea of what goes on in the rest of the country. I’m reminded of a statement Kareem Abdul-Jabbar made when he found out he’d been drafted as the number one pick in 1969 by the Milwaukee Bucks. Farmers! He’d been drafted by farmers. Yes, that’s right, Milwaukee a city of more than half a million people was populated solely by farmers. I knew then that if a reasonably intelligent person like A-Jabbar could have a misconception like that, there must be millions more who thought the same.

Fact of the matter is that many of us out here in Flyover Country are more familiar with their dens than they are with ours.

All us hayseeds HAVE been to the city, y'know...
