Country people are for the most part welcoming folks. They like city people a lot, but they like folks who can relate to them a bit more. This camaraderie and shared experience is why country people like other country people.
Country people like outsiders but they dislike when the outsiders incorrectly assume they know what is best for them. Country people are all too familiar with city people who view them as backwards or ignorant and are reluctant to embrace their cultures and traditions. Those city folks – well intentioned or otherwise – rarely understand the unique complexities that characterize life in the country that are the subjects of this blog. As such, country people prefer other country people with whom they regularly share successes, challenges, recipes, backyards and common histories.
Amen.
Damn I hate them city folk! Thinkin’ we is all backward and the like. Geebus if I ever get hold of them I’m gonna run my pitchfork through them like there’s no harvest tomorrrow!
