A tale of two societies on this Fourth of July
By Eric Utter
There are two different societies in the West, perhaps particularly in the U.S. and Canada.
This striking dichotomy is not, per se, between Republicans and Democrats, conservatives and liberals, white folk and people of color, or even rich and poor.
It is the profound difference between those in large urban areas and those who live in the country and more remote places. It is nearly all-encompassing.
City-dwellers tend to be far more “progressive.” By necessity they often need to rely on others for transportation. Many of the “elites” in coastal metropolises couldn’t change a tire or fix a leaky faucet to save their souls.
By contrast, those who reside in the country tend to be much more self-sufficient, and far less entitled. Most are capable of growing, building, and fixing things. These “flyover country” folks (except for those in the flyover urban areas) provide everyone with food, lumber, and energy. And they are too often reviled for doing so.
