People who live in the rural communities are much more self-reliant. They understand the gun ethic and view themselves as independent.
People who live in the large metropolitain areas are much more likely to see themselves as part of the global community. "Can't we all just get along?" These people view guns as anti-social.
IMO, single moms with kids are much more likely to live in large metropolitain areas. Minorities in inner cities learn to survive on government programs. Once you've had regular government checks coming for a few years, the idea that safety net wouldn't be there for you really bothers people.
The liberal politicians have demagogued government handouts for generations. Minority leaders have convinced their constituents that the government must help them.
Government workers live in large metropolitain areas. Union workers live in large metropolitain areas. University professors generally live in large metropolitain areas.
The dynamics of inner city life, the large collective mentality that overwhelms people in the cities, is very pervasive. Living in the city, one is much more likley to become involved with the psychoanalysis community at some point in time.
The liberal influences in the settings I've mention above, are nearly unavoidable. Women who see themselves a nuturing are much more easily swayed by other entities that feign a nurturing component. Bill Clinton really cared. He wanted women to be able to choose. Big nanny government is there for you. Women buy into this. That's why women voted for Clinton around 65%. I realize that this wasn't supposed to be about women, but women who remain in the rural setting generally get married, start a family and fend for themselves. They can bounce their ideas off their husbands. Single women in the city feel vulnerable. Whether they realize it or not, big government many times becomes their husband by proxy, it providing income, health services and other things a good husband should help provide.
Well, this is the way I see it.
Take care.
Than you, DoughtyOne, for the most reasoned response!
Thank you Doughtyone - well thought out and reasoned. I'll pass this on to my son.
Meaningless speculation.
If you want to meet really strange crazy people the most rural precincts are where to go. Outside day-to-day social experiences they are easier become estranged from what most accept as in the range of normal behavior.
Yet they don't see shrinks -- it's a long drive and the shrinks don't market well -- and concentrated market has more of any service provider, pumblers or shinks and folks using thereof.
