| Ya, nice post, BG.
I get the same in the hamlet near my folks' home. The people there think Japan, China, HK and Thailand are al the same place. They laugh if you miss the sneak turnoff by the crik and don't know where Sanders homestead road is. International news is snippets about disasters. They don't care. In their minds, what happens in the Middle East, for example, ain't gonna affect their crops or stop the square dance next Saturday night. They wanna know what the local MP is gonna do about the road repair and the funding for the elementary school. Everything outside their sphere of living is just 15 seconds of entertainment. |
