After all, plenty of urbanites came originally from the hinterlands. And I have run into a whole lot of people who are pathetically suspicious of city dwellers, without themselves having ever spent any time in a city. And if I ever had to live in, say, Joplin, MO, I would surely begin immediately to consume large quantities of drugs. In Robert Dole's hometown of Russell. Kansas, everyone I saw seemed completely brain dead. Living there would be, in the words of the song, Waltzing Matilda, "worse than dying."
