> "idiocy of rural life"
I think it's important for all free people to ask questions of themselves such as, "If organizations and government weren't there to provide me $service, what would I do to stay alive?"
($service being personal security against threats, healthcare, emergency care, power, fuel, water, food, and so on.)
It is my opinion that everyone should have a rough game plan for each of the above.
The answers to these questions might explain the perceived "idiocy" of rural life to many people.
- s1artibartfast 5y agoI don't understand your example. It seems to me that rural residents have a much better game plan and experience with those questions. What am I missing?
- runjake 5y agoI'm suggesting they/we have good reasons (self-sufficiency) behind our "rural" ways. Eg. a law enforcement response to a serious crime is still about 20 minutes. We have extended power outages every year. Every few years, we have 24-72 hour power outages.
