If You Insist On Classifying People Geographically

You know, if you insist on classifying people geographically as you do, I'm a lot more impressed with more of the people I've met and read and heard from the Midwest and South than those in NYC.  Both in terms of intellect and in things such as practicing of standards of scholarship and honesty instead of fads and fashions.  And if I'm not as impressed with NYC on that count, I'm also really unimpressed with San Franciscans, at least those on the lefty-left, I say after just having come from the Mother Jones website.   

That's not so shocking when you figure the number of people in the Midwest and South, the number of fine universities and colleges as compared to your relatively puny cities.  Your impression depends on density, both of numbers of such institutions per square miles and the denisity of the skulls which refuse to believe other places have smart people living in them.

I know you guys figure the place where you reside is the center of the universe - it isn't, get over it - but there's a lot more to the universe and even the country than your home towns.   

Come to think of it, you can throw in Madison with NYC and S.F,  I looked at The Progressive magazine the other day.  I'm a lot less impressed with Madison than the people who figure it's the pole star or something.  Though there seem to be fewer people living under that delusion given the experience of not being able to prevent or get rid of Scott Walker.  As so often happens, the lefty, left stuff coming from places with a sort of lefty establishment looks rather old and dated.  Following old fashions of a left which thinks Marxism isn't dead and that 18th century mechanistic science is the ever and eternal truth instead of just an oversimplified, reductionist view of the physical universe which it became apparent was inadequate more than a century ago. 

In comparison, native Mainers have long been somewhat famous for not getting all that impressed with ourselves or our state.  I've been telling you guys, for years, that it isn't a liberal state, though it's a lot more liberal than your state is in some ways.  I don't know of anyone who is stupid enough to figure it's the hub of the universe.  Those guys in Massachusetts had that idea about Concord, then Cambridge, only no one really believes that outside of Harvard, now.   Maine escaped the direct domination of those guys in 1820, though they have certainly lorded it over us to the extent they could. 

Really, you vainglorious, chauvinistic dolt, classifying people geographically is an expression of bigoted ignorance and conceit.  I suspect there are fewer people inclined to do that in places that haven't generated propaganda about their own greatness than in THE CITY, or other such embodiments of chamber of commerce style self-promotion.
