I grew up in West Virginia...and, know Ohio all too well...I was not referring to the militancy or political level of ohioans. I am just referring to the lifestyle and the dismal landscape...which is urban sprawl. I REALIZE that there are economic factors at play, but that makes the place none the less dismal. "Backwater" was the wrong term...it is a term that refers more to the place where I grew up. "Urban sprawl" describes places like Cleveland and Columbus a bit better. My comments do not always refer to something political.

Not only that but you are very sweet, albeit misguided in your defence of stalinists.

Here we go with the binary thinking again...I am left to choose between an imperialist superpower and a stalinist disctatorship...Your choice is like asking me if I want to die by hanging or die by the electric chair....In either case, I choose NEITHER. I dont have to support either the US or North Korea...and by presenting the choice in that way, you certainly do little to encourage to take up the fight against capitalism....Right, we are supposed to be moved to fight for revolution when the object is to become like fucking North Korea...With choices like that, no wonder so many young people turn to doing "crack".
