Just got back home from being with family for a small-town 4th of July celebration in Kansas - it was great, as per usual. Democrats are almost extinct in rural Kansas, so the air is fresher, the IQs are higher which makes for much more intelligent conversations, no trash, poop, or used hypodermic needles littering the streets, no crime ('cuz everyone is walking around armed), no homeless encampments, and everyone is friendly with a positive, can-do attitude.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
