Hicks vs. Sophisticates

In case you haven't noticed, we've been sucky lately. Our vibes not as bad as they should be, the level of bile at an all time low, the futility of existence more obvious each day. Continuing in that tradition, we point you to an article in Slate that, essentially, brings up the farmer/city dweller dichotomy that's been poisoning our country for some time.

But Alaska leans Republican while Hawaii leans Democratic, and the GOP long ago intimidated the media into believing that only Republican strongholds represent the "real America." These Republican strongholds are usually sparsely populated, and I suppose the media's been sold on the idea that because the United States started out as an agrarian nation, rural areas are somehow more authentic than urban ones.

Fuck you, clodhoppers. Keep your old-time religion & your old time everything else to yourself. Then wonder why your offspring run to the cities the first chance they get. Tell us again what "authentic" Americans you are, w/ your secessionist parties & your Confederate flag. You don't even want to be part of this nation, & we don't want or need you any more. So get lost!! 80 % of the U. S. population lives in metropolitan areas. (We have no stats for metro-sexual areas.) We win, you lose, fuck off!!
