(55,032 posts)I don't like the ignorance and resentment and hatred of anybody though I certainly understand the politics of it all and I feel my own irritation and hatred and resentment at the right wing elements of our country. But like it or not, we all need each other. Rural people provide the services that allow you to enjoy your vacations and recreating out in the rural areas. Most of your food is grown in the rural areas while most of the people purchasing that food live in the urban areas. Likewise, arts and culture and things that we need to grow and enjoy intellectually come from urban areas, though not all of course. Lots of good writers hiding out in the hinterlands. We are interdependent then we should stop paying attention to the people who constantly foment disagreement and chaos. Turn off talk radio and 24-hour"news" television entertainment.
