I didnt realize you were taking you point on small town life from an op-ed piece in The Philly paper. I was taking my stance from 25 years in the poorest county in Missouri. I don't have any stats, so must not understand. I stand corrected. oops. I didnt realize you were taking you point on small town life from an op-ed piece in The Philly paper.

There are plenty of excellent people in American small towns, of course. But Sarah Palin would have us believe that Small Towns = Good while Big Cities = Bad. My comments about small town problems were based on an op-ed in the Philadelphia Inquirer which gave stats on some of the serious problems in little dots on the map. Proportionately, small towns are suffering more social ills than big cities, in the categories I mentioned. If I can ever find the link, I'll post it here.

Those of us who live in 'fly over country' in small towns know that we have our share of social problems, but we also have our share of brilliance, caring and good people. Generalizations about any group of people is just plain wrong.

Logic will always be trumped by clever and amusing. I will give you credit for an Obama victory and then check on you every few months as your man dumps sweet, sweet sugar in the economic engine of this fine country. LOL. You win.

I can't see a good choice in either direction, for lots and lots of reasons. Perhaps I'll just do what I've done before; walk into the voting booth, close my eyes and hope for the best. But, as you've woven your post with all of these wonderful books, there's one other you should read through - The Nightingale's Song by Robert Timberg. It gave me a perspective of John McCain that I can't shake from my head - for good and for disappointment. I have to tell you that I’m still in the undecided column.
