That is because small town values mean watching out for one another, helping out your neighbor and not expecting something in return, keeping your word, being self-sufficient, shooting straight, riding well, and telling the truth. Simply put, our values are based upon the “WE” ...
Most people in the cities have abandoned the “WE” concept and replaced it with the “ME” concept: ME-ME-ME-ME, I-I-I-I-I, 24/7.
Washington inabitants are the worst.
What political constituency now has a strangle-hold on our cities? Liberal socialist trash. This explains why, when a disaster strikes, you can safely bet city dwellers will steal from their own mothers, hoard whatever they can for themselves, and kill anyone that stands between them and a plasma-screen television... even though electricity is non-existant. The recent Thanksgiving Walmart fiasco is a perfect example of city mentality: moral deviants.
That has happened pretty recently, including here in the suburbs. I lived in the Bronx until I was 10, then we moved to Long Island. NONE of us got away with ANYTHING, in the city or the suburbs, nor could we make a move without "home" knowing about it because everyone looked out for everyone else. And guess what? Other adults were allowed to reprimand us if they caught us doing something wrong then they dragged our butts home and told on us!!
It's very very different now and not in a good way.
