If that gets ya going, check out “The Age of American Unreason” by Susan Jacoby. Some similar thought patterns. Interesting how thought processes like this are popping up all over the place right now. hhhhmmmm…

I don’t know if it’s just education. I think that education goes hand in hand with a higher slot on the economic ladder… and jobs for the educated are clustered in urban markets.

Could it be that those who are less well educated and less economically secure really understand how close they are to failure and want someone they think will do something about it?

and that those who are more educated and have achieved their place on the ladder want reassurance that they can leave the problems of survival behind and concentrate on something greater?

Or perhaps it is something to do with being where you make a living by making something..

as opposed to where you make a living by ideas.. or servicing something.. or…

or maybe it’s just age… the young are fleeing the countryside in droves…

it reminds me of the difference between the generation that went through the depression.. even as kids.. and that directly following it.

I am the child of one of those depression babies… who didn’t do so well economically…

as is hubby…

and even though we do relatively well… i still keep a well stocked pantry…

my kids think it’s pretty funny…

my grandkids think it’s hilarious.
