tvashtarkatena, Boohoohoo I'm crying my eyes out for you and your ilk. Please do stay in the cities, rural America doesn't want you. Why? Because you piss, whine, moan and ask for government hand outs all on our dime. You actually think the "metro" citizens are paying our way? Huh, apparently you haven't looked around lately, but then that would take a mind that thinks logically and concisely which Liberal don't have. It's all how it feels and how warm and fuzzy you will feel thinking that government will take care of you from birth to grave. NOT one of my "rural" friends has that mentality although we do see it when Lower 48 city types show up during tourist season. Examples I don't feel obligated to post but I'm sure you get the picture. We are self reliant and city folks want Government to tell them what to do and when and how and to restrict freedoms that they deem as unnecessary.
I'm done with you folks for at least a few months. I hope you all stay where you are and don't tread on the beautiful landscape of Montana, Eastern Washington, Wyoming, North Dakota, Alaska and the Northern Provinces because every where the "city minded" folks come they bring their ideas and expect us to acquiesce without a murmur.
