Quote:
It seems somehow ironic that most people living in rural communities have neighbors that all look like them (ie they're all white) and that they're so sheltered from the world. The term "sheltered lives" comes to mind. People in the city seem to be so affected by economic faliure, seeing homeless people sleeping under newspapers on a bench doesn't happen in Hicksville, Mississippi

Wow.. you've never been to a small town have you? Maybe up north in those rural places but down south whites tend NOT to be the majority. And we do have the downtrodden too, but due to (for the most part) a better sense of community people will band together to help those in need. That's my experience coming from a small town to a big city, people in the city dont give a shit about each other as opposed to everyone knowing and saying hi to everyone else.
