Everyone I've ever met thinks they are a moderate for what ever "side" they are on(and its those other guys that are crazy over the top!). Problem is everyone also thinks the guy with an opposing opinion is an idiot. Pretty much seems to break down based on where you are from, city people tend to have a lot more help with welfare/aid stuff, mail/garbage men, accessible cops and a million more important things, all this stuff that makes millions of people living on top of each other possible. With small towns you don't get all that stuff you have to be a bit more self reliant, if you want your mail you have to go get it, if you want your house to not be full of trash you have to drive to the dump and if you want to feel safe "out in the world" you might want to carry a firearm(might take 10-15 mins to get the police to help you out).
People just don't seem to understand that what works great for 10mil people jumbled together might not be a good idea for say >10k and vica versa.
True enough but that's not what this is about is it? Besides there are plenty of rural communities up North.

PS, on topic: People care way to much about what other people think these days ; [ It's hard for me to give a shit about said flag, my ancestors were not in the US during the Civil War and neither was I so it's hard for me to say what that flag means to descendants of people who fought for the south, seems to me that in most case's the meaning is probably "FU I do what I want!" as there are so many negative things associated with it(and you never hear about positive things if there are any if you live up north as I do) and I would assume people could find something else to have pride in if they wanted to.
Same for mine - we were in Germany at the time, we'd nation-hop again before coming to America - but in the here and now, the issue is an important one, because some people have damn good reasons to be upset about it because the issues endure into the present and affect us all as a nation.
