How deep is your schism? -OR- The First Thing Ya Know

The big secret that us Dirty Fucking Hippies have been been screaming politely since the first wedges were driven into the heartland is that we truly, madly, deeply admire the salt-of-the-earth folk whose real world view ends at the county line. We don't want to alter your way of life. You know what's good for you, you always have. Your way of life is safe from us.

We buy your goods and services. You've not really complained much about the stuff we ship back to you. What you have also seemed to buy is the bullshit being fed to you that we want to turn you all into godless queers who hate America. We are not your enemy. WE are BOTH being used. AND abused.

It should be evidence enough that scary, fictional,dramatized exploits of city folks have been 100% imported into your communities. Aberrations happen. Random "crime" is RANDOM. I and my ilk have not put effort into invading your turf despite what you view on the satellite feed.

There is no DFH conspiracy against you. If you just parse it out rationally, you will know this to be true, so don't be scared. In many ways we've tried to bring your way of thinking into the densely populated mean streets of the city.

We just have differing soil conditions. Some of our once fertile ground has been been turned squalid by abuse, neglect and improper stewardship. We have squatters in the public square, rats in the silos and licentious blowholes in seats of power. You have the same problems, just on a smaller scale. You work around your obstacles the same way we do in the big city.

For city folk it has been relatively cost effective to let the mouths run. Only when their rhetoric crosses the line do we pay attention. You'd do well to really evaluate the impacts your proxy enables. We are, after all, in this together.
