I would agree that the analogy is not perfect and that rural people are subject to the same foibles as urban folk in theory if not substance, these including fear of different things (drugs) and religious intolerance (abortion).
Still, the thing that has struck me time and time again when I've had to spend time in the boonies is that people consistantly have a "get it done" attitude and then they figure out a way to do it (good old fashoned Yankee ingenuity is what it used to be called).
Conversely, I see urban people as being willing to explore ideas and new paradigms whereas country people tend to stick with what works.
