Sorry, Fidgit. Didn't intend to be offensive to you. In fact, my comment was directed to Sunder; I completely agree with his comments about the advantages of living in small towns. I believe living in smaller communities provides individuals a greater quality of life than living in the suburbs or metropolitan areas. Most of the people in the USA don't have much of a choice, we live in larger communities to provide for ourselves and families. I've often thought that individuals that MUST hide in high density populated areas either have difficulty dealing with others, or perhaps have some habits/life styles that would be intolerable/objectionable in normal communities. In our country's formative years, it seemed that most of the miscreants/hermits lived in desolate areas; it appears that this has changed 180 degrees. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
