    I wonder if it's worth it to "save" rural America

    I like the Norman Rockwell ideal as much as anyone, but what with the internets and all, I imagine its nearly impossible to convince a smart kid to stick it out in Muncie, Indiana or wherevever.

    And I’m not sure why we want that kid to stay in Muncie. I guess it’s sad if Muncie becomes a meth-wracked ghost town, but if we only need 1% of the population to be farmers, I’m not sure I see the point in keeping people out in the sticks.

    Interesting stuff.

    I agree

    It’s like the Amish. No one would dream of actually joining them, and living like them. Yet you see smart, educated commentators lamenting the fact that young Amish kids leave and never return. What hypocrisy, and snobbery that shows. What they are saying is- I wouldn’t do it, but it’s cute to watch others do it.

    I think it's cool RR

    That you are keeping yourself interested in the political theatrics north of the border. Someone needs to I guess, everyone up here is bored out of their mind that another election is looming on the horizon. With the same script as always. Conservatives staying boring and steady, Liberals eating themselves from inside, the NDP sniping around the edges making a lot of noise but not much impact and the Bloc slowly and surely tightening their grip on Quebec. ZZZZZZZZZ. I’m biased, I live in Calgary Southwest- guess who is MP for there. That makes it even more dull, because the result is a foregone conclusion here (and Alberta in general, sadly).

    Wake me up when something different happens.

    SHOULD WE EXTEND TEJEDA LONG-TERM NOW OR AFTER THE SEASON????

    (no offense intended, NYRoyal, if you’re out there.)

    I'm not a sabermetrician, but I do play one at Driveline Mechanics.

    Looks like trouble when it starts by wishing from a thankless world a peaceful tomb. You’re thinking: “Nine books of kvetching? Great.”
