  • No worries, I don’t take it as argumentative, just expressing your opinion, same as me. 🙂

    My general thought is, if you don’t like where you live AND you can leave, take action and go. But in many cases, leaving just isn’t an option. I know this all too well. I hate Oklahoma. I hate the politics of it. I hate that it’s always 20 years in the past compared to any other state. I hate the people wanting to strike up a convo while I’m in line to get my groceries. I hate the “good ol boy” culture and the obsession over sports trucks and hunting. I hate so much about this place. But I can’t afford to leave. I’ve tried to save many times but wages are so suppressed here and getting an out of state job is such a bitch, I can’t. Still trying a decade down the road with the same road blocks and will keep trying till I die.

    But until then, I vote in everything I can. I try to make it work. I take opportunity to disagree with bad politics when I can. I try to make the best of what I’ve got. Because I can’t do anything else. Do what you can, when you can, where you are is my general philosophy for this. Bit rambly but hope that makes sense.
