Ghandi expressed more smaller towns and less larger cities. Spread out the population and limit the capitalization of MN. Minnesota is ruled by a metropolitan socialized cesspool population of imbeciles. Gun issues wouldnt exist if we didnt have the Twin Cities Oh to edit, my point is to stay in your small town and encourage it. Dont sell out to living in the cites to make a few extra dollars an hour to only increase your risk of cancer or other degenerate diseases and life drains. What do you think will truely fix our assult on our frredoms?

I just read an article on a similar note a few days ago, can't remember where...It was talking about how gun ownership is greater in rural areas, and with more and more people moving into the cities, it will be easier to implement more and more gun control as time goes on. Minnesota is not unique here...Illinois is controlled by Chicago, New York by New York City, etc. It was kind of interesting during the House committee discussions on the gun bills, one of the Metrocrats (the one who is a commander in the NG, can't remember his name) commented that the shall issue carry bill was rammed down the throats of the metro area by rural politicians, and this bill was likely going to be stymied by rural politicians as well, and that rural gun owners always get what they want at the expense of the metro area, etc, etc... I found that rather ironic as a rural person, because I always feel like I have to live by the policies of the metro area! Such as the metro politicians telling me what I can and can't do in a forest they've never been to! At some point these issues will come to a head...

back40, great info and point Sadly the Metrocrats have no one to answer to as very few actually believe in a Greater being other than Government, so expect lies and manipulation. They will say what they have to to get what they want. Small town people, in their view, are dopey God believers and need government intervention

I'm torn between my two responses, so I'll post both:
Yes, because there are no conservatives who live in the Cities by either choice or necessity 
or I'll get right on finding a job in the thriving economy and wealth of employment opportunities in rural Minnesota

My gf's family is spread all over northern Minnesota and all, except for one couple, support bans with confiscation. Some of them are even recreational shooters. They just "don't think anybody needs those deadly assault rifles!" Lots of rural people are also 'on the dole' and make their living entirely from Government. TONS of rural welfare leeches too - but not as many as concentrated in the city... Now, if we get into talking about Mailbox Farming, then... Well, that's a whole different bucket of worms. 
Personally, I've encountered more like-minded folks in rural areas than urban, but I've also encountered a number of hypocrites out here too. Honestly, one just needs some land, some tools, and a market capable of supporting a certain type of business, and instantly you have a feasible income in an area with a notably lower cost of living. If you can't find a job, create your own company and thus create your own job. There are millions of ways to make a living in this world - not just as an employee for a company in a major metropolitan area. I'm living out in the middle of nowhere now. A woman who worked at a bakery in the twin cities moved back out to the boonies to take care of her parents until they died. She suddenly decided to live out there, but noticed there wasn't a decent bakery within 60 miles (excluding mediocre grocery store bakeries)... SO, she started up her own small bakery in town on a shoestring budget, and within a few months, it's by far one of the most popular shops in town. DOZENS of people go there every morning for their coffee, donuts, breads, and it's the popular hang-out for the local retired & elderly population. She makes a good income off all the sales, and each morning there's not a single open seat available because the place is filled beyond capacity with a line for people picking up take-out orders. There's another girl that worked for great-clips in the cities, but decided she wanted to have her own shop. She bought a chunk of land in town for $1.00! She puts up a small wood frame shop, and opens her own small beauty parlor... Before you know it she's expanding the shop, and taking on a couple more employees. This is AMERICA. One of the few places where you still have SOME freedom to pursue happiness (no guarantee that you will attain it though). I'm loving living in the middle of nowhere. I'm stuck at home with another snow day due to the blizzard. It's like living on the Hoth System: 
Going to take me +5 hours to snow-blow my way out to the main township road, and that probably won't be plowed until 3pm tomorrow. In the meantime, I'm working more on lining up a few more contracts, and trying to get my own business off the ground and running this spring / summer - all while working a shit-labor job at a local factory. |

I won't be responding to this thread after next week because I will be too busy running around Lake Harriet watching MILFS and Lake Calhoun checking out 20-somethings in yoga pants. City life can be hard. |

Like...you cant get a decent coffee or buy sushi different. I just moved from Willmar to the cities after living there the past 10 years. Willmar has a Dunn Bros, and I consider it decent coffee. They also have a habachi place that sells mediocre sushi. I gave up a good job to move to the cities so my spouse would be happy. We live meagerly but still slurge when we want to. However I still agree with Green Loki's Comment |

I will admit though, the food/restaurants and coffee are typically better in bigger cities but if you can cook well and buy some good beans then the city isnt necessary. The higher paying jobs and the self indulgent city entertainment lifestyle arent worth the stress and restrictions of living in a densely populated metro area. Its plainly unnatural to live in a city. If only folks could center themselves and dissolve the insatiable appetite of wanting and one upping one another. America needs a new direction away from hedonism if it wants to safeguards it few freedoms left.

But I've had $20 back woods bar steaks in Arkansas that have tasted better than a $100 Houston Texas steak. Fogo is over rated and over priced. "American Cooking", burgers, chicken, meat and potatoes dinners are better at old country greasy spoons than in large cities. Italian food in old family Italian restaurants is better wherever you can find it, than any slop Olive Garden or Bucca can come up with. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

City life can be hard. CSB. Really? That's all ya got? I don't have to wait until after next week to go 4 wheeling any time I want, shoot on my own property anytime I want, breath fresh air, or go for a walk w/o having to wonder if I'm going to be gang banged. The little dots of light in the sky are actually stars and not reflections from smog particles. The gun shots I hear are people hunting or target shooting, not shooting each other. I can walk down the county highway with a rifle on my back w/o getting spread eagle and beaten with a Mag Lite. My county sheriff signed my carry permit before the state required him to do so. I have to allow at least an hour to get my Form 1/4 signed because he likes to shoot the shit every time I see him. You can see girls in Yoga pants in church now, not sure what being around a lake makes them special. Sometimes my Sunday afternoons get interrupted by having to help a local farmer rodeo is herd back that broke out, before some yahoo from the city driving home takes our exit off 35 to get around an accident and thinks he can do 60 in our 45 zone and hits a cow on the road. Wastes half the damn county budget for the month scraping his face off the windshield. Yup, life in the country sucks. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

I'd rather do that than work at a rural gas station or feedlot, no offense to those who do. All work is honorable, but not all work is for me. I've lived with a long commute and it sucks all the fun, joy, and life out of five days a week. Working for the weekends while driving 1-3 hours each way is no way to live (I'm referring to the concept of living rural and working in the cities). As for one-upping and hedonism...you're saying the McMansions in the third ring suburbs and beyond aren't an example of that? Sorry, I just don't buy the city=bad / country=good argument. |

If the rural DFL politicians are sufficiently scared of the NRA to vote in a manner that upholds the constitution, the rural districts can stand to lose a few conservatives. |

People naturally defend and justify their position and wants in life. We all do it to some degree. Its not natural to not know your neighbors(typical city life). Community is so important for a healthy society. I just think its dangerous that the vast majority of Americans live in huge metropolitan areas. City folks are typically much more detached from the earth.
I grew up in a small county in southern MN(Watonwan) and when you come upon a person on the side walk or where ever, you natually look at them and at least say "hi". When I first went to Minneapolis for processing into the military as a 17 year old, I could not believe folks wouldnt even look at you as you come across one another. It was like they thought I was going to rob them or they were just plain too busy to be human  Theres alot more to life than making money and accumulating materialism.
Yet then I think maybe its good there are alot of city people. More room for the few of us to roam the forests and fields

There was a letter to the editor many years ago from a woman who didn't understand why we needed farms now that we have grocery stores.

I live west of the cities but work for a company based in the metro area. I cover western MN as a service tech but I get paid the same, in some cases more than my counterparts in the metro area. The down side, my wife is a teacher and she makes considerably less than metro area teachers. She's not in it for the money, she loves to teach. She tutors kids in the summer for free, just to see kids excel. I love the small town/country life but I think I could also live downtown Minneapolis if I had to. |
