Sorry.

Got this off of a few comms. Very political, of course.

I don't live in a big city, I live in an agricultural town. My parents who voted for Kerry live in the mountains in the middle of nowhere. So does my grandmother. A friend who voted for Kerry lives in a very rural state. I don't get it.

If you read Savage Love, the sex advice column in the Onion, he talks about how we live on Islands. Little Blue Islands in the Red Sea (yay for my puns!). I think that works as a better comparison.

Funny how the cities all ramble on about money....

...when that's not what is really important.

I have noted elsewhere (here, in fact:http://www.livejournal.com/users/pope_guilty/193665.html ; read on, Macduff) that the "blue cities" have very little ground to stand on once you realize that the red states produce most of the food.

And you can't eat money. Nor wear it. True wealth is in having more than you need of what you need.

What it all boils down to is, we're stuck with one another. The people in Nebraska need computer chips for the control panels on their combine harvesters (have you seen the latest models?!?), and the people in Washington, D.C. need corn and potatoes and wheat on their plates.
