[quote=afx114]Why do the simpleton ranchers get to have the monopoly on what “real life” is like? Maybe they should leave their comfortable ranches and come see how us city folk live from time to time.
Perhaps Allan hasn’t seen some professors ever leave La Jolla, and while I agree that that’s a bad thing, I’ve certainly never seen an Iowa corn farmer hanging out in downtown either.[/quote]

That is the beauty of strong states and a weak fed. If you live in a NY condo, you shouldn’t have to worry about what some stupid hick from Idaho thinks about something. There is little need for compromise, because one has little influence on the other.
