Small towns

Ok, it’s Christmas Eve and everywhere around here, in this little city of East Bumblescrew (mythical reference… don’t try to find it), shopkeepers and passers-by are wishing everyone Merry Christmas in brazen fashion - and doing it mostly unknowingly in the face of all that is politically correct (read: idiotic) in the more “progressive” urban counties. And everywhere I go people are talkative and friendly… even store managers and shop owners are breaking stride to offer help or address a puzzled look. No wonder why people call this “real” America… small-town America. Now don’t get me wrong… I’m a city boy at heart. Some Manhattan dream-flat somewhere is calling to me… but in the unitarian wasteland of the Northeast… where “progressiveness” equates to eroding our identity down to the lowest common denominator (which is a myth unto itself) you won’t ever attain what the common country-folk of the “rest” of the country have in excess.
