Cool! I moved to the city and said. wow...
New people
no more driving for two hours just to get to work
picking up bread and milk now only requires 15 footsteps
no more of the one single once a year community "festival" that involves nothing more than a bunch of hicks drinking beer and kids playing in the bush or the ditch
HOLY **** THERE'S ACTUALLY PLACES TO GO
Ok, let's get rid of all the "weird" attire and force everyone to wear jackboots and grey tunics.
Led said:No one say's you have to do any of those things including giving people things to gossip about. Driving for my groceries.......doesn't bother me, just means I need to plan ahead a little bit.
Led said:First of all I'm a Vegan and I haven't eaten pizza in 30 years at least not the kind your talking about. I don't order carry out or go to restaurants, I prefer to prepare my own food. My credit cards stay in my day planner and I use them for emergency purposes only most of the time, but I'm really not clear why I wouldn't be able to have credit cards in a small town like you suggest. On TV I watch the news and that's it and I could do with out that, TV rots the brain, but if you didn't know satelite dishes can bring television and broadband to the most remote parts of the world now. Further more I'm a pretty self sufficient person already, I learned basic survival skills while in the boyscouts, I grew up in a rural environment so I'm 3/4 assimilated already. So what exactly was your point? Just to show that your an ignorant suburbanite, pizza ordering, Coke drinking, SUV driving(on the cell phone), beer drinking golfer like you come off as?.............................That's all I wrote was, as long as I could get a job there...WTF !
Led said:Couldn't have said it better myself.
By the way people in my neck of the woods are paying $1500.00 to $2000.00 a month for the same house your paying $250.00 a month for where your at.

Led said:I pick a great portion of my food from the wild when I can. Hickory nut's drop off trees by the bushel full around here. In a rural area I could easily have a spectacular garden including edibles that don't require much water to grow. Yeah, I don't tend to agree with modern day farmers and the way they deal with their animals but I pretty much mind my own business when it comes to that. That may change though some day, maybe not we'll see.
Led said:We live right outside Chicago, it can get pretty country pretty quick as you drive away from it. A friend and I though used to drive a few hours into Iowa occasionally on a warm summer night, park in the middle of a farm road and look at those gajillion stars your talking about.
Led said:I just mean they're not just raising them to graze in the pasture for the rest of their lives like I would, they're probably either going to go to slaughter or the dairy, then slaughter.
I just don't go along with that thinking. I don't use animal products in any form.
