« Reply #60 on: November 10, 2004, 10:59:15 AM »
a good example of city vs country was yesterday here...  a track of 500k houses has been built here... landscaping and extras probly push em up to 600k... the people who bought em came here from the bay area to escape the madness and spend some of the windfall from their million dollar 2 bedroom homes in crime and traffic central..

talked to one yesterday... he was complaining bitterly that his home was full of dust.... dust everywhere... the farmer next that owned the adjacent land was going around in one of those big tractor things pulling equipment that did nothing but raise a bunch of dust that drifted over to his home!

That is the fundamental difference.  

What will happen is that when he gets enough bay area people moved in they will go to the city and try to get that tractor stuff banned.

I don't really see any BLUE STATES.
Certainly no North South divide.

I see blue cities, with high concentrations of minorities (most of whom are on gov.t assistance) Gay’s who have an agenda. And students, whom don’t know any better as of yet.

Can I ask where you got that map?  I'd like to see if I could zoom in on it a bit on the main site.

soda... it is worse than that.... the city folk are leaving the hell they created and then they are trying to turn the suburbs they move too into the same hell they left.

wulfie.... I know that... well, not me personaly and they probly think they are "helping" people but.... they are coming..  when enough of em gets here I will leave and go to the next place that they find undesirable untill they discover it and so on and so on...

not that complex.   I don't think urban and rural folk have the same needs or wants.   I don't think that the federal government will ever be able to meet the demand of both and I don't think they should even try... I think the answer is less federal government and more power for the states and local government..... If you don't like the way a state is going.... move out.  

 A for instance would be.... the feds say we have the right to keep and bear arms... the local government says we don't want you to be armed in a bar or on the street.... fine...  their choice but... the federal law would still say that you could have a firearm in your own home.

 ROFL- This reminds of the "suburbinite" who moved out here, and called the EPA about a "oder" coming from the farm next door. Turned out they were smelling cow manure.
 They sued to shut down the farm.
 Or the one who called the SPCA about a guy who siced his dog on a groundhog, resulting in the death of said groundhog.
 Judge threw That one out too.
 I ve also noticed that the smartest people are more often then not lacking in commenscence.

flit.... I agree... but so what?   we and the guys who don't live in big cities will allways agree and those who live in big cities will think we are crazy or not even understand the joke half the time....

and that is what nash is talking about.   He just hasn't taken his reasoning the necessary next step and realized that a strong federal government (or threat of one) will allways polarize rather than unite.

nash never likes to be burdened by facts.... they only tie down and constrict his thinking process.

I just hoped we could accept the fact that there's a difference, without being clubbed over the head with a whole ton of links, quotes, whatever else that would get picked apart and squabbled over at the expense of what I was really trying to talk about. Even that wasn't entirely successful.

Maybe I coulda just taken the lazs approach and said "Penny loafers and pig famers; discuss." Are those the 'facts' you are talking about?

Anyways, I did say I was being lazy. :)
