I'm not ignorant of rural life, I've lived in rural areas, suburbs, and visiting cities a lot.

There are a lot of reasons why american cities suck, high crime, decrepit buildings, not unique to cities either.

Enjoy your life, and be safe. Try not to put others in danger.

I don't know why I care so much, but someone in my area died in a car accident a few months ago. I didn't know her, but i was very close at the time it happened.

A drunk driver hit them and everyone blames them alone, and yeah its their fault. But the road leading up to it is too easy to go fast leading into a shopping center. I don't want to live a culture that just accepts car deaths. I want the county and government to fix unsafe roads. And I'd like something to be done to stop the arms race between cars on the road, in the end your not that much safer, while people outside the car die in greater numbers.

I get it all, trust me. I'll vote to make it better. But day to day, I nor my family, will lose that arms race.
