From my youth up I never liked the city.
I never forgot the mountains where I was born.
The world caught me and harnessed me
And drove me through dust, thirty years away from home.
Migratory birds return to the same tree.
Fish find their way back to the pools where they were hatched.
I have been over the whole country,
And I have come back at last to the garden of my childhood.
My farm is only ten acres.
The farm house has eight or nine rooms.
Elms and willows shade the back garden.
Peach trees stand by the front door.
The village is out of sight.
You can hear dogs bark in the alleys,
And cocks crow in the mulberry trees.
When you come through the gate into the court
You will find no dust or mess.
Peace and quiet live in every room.
I am content to stay here the rest of my life.
At last I have found myself.
— Tao Yuan Ming (Tao Qian) Chinese, 365-427

Kansas was underrated. Somehow they got lumped in with arena rock bands. But the critics’ disdain was really just an early manifestation of the coastal elites’ contempt for flyover country and anything cultural that it produced.
Sorry about that. Moved Kansas to the next post up. Didn’t want to duplicate.
The only thing you can count of from the american communists is the enormous volume of their lies.
Really, lying is the base of their entire operation, and that includes all the siblings like deceptions, double talk, misspeaks, diversions, false accusations, and all around fakeness.
They, the american communists, are a disadvantage to others so if you were the king of the world what would you do with them?
Mass murder?
Caged?
Banished to an island 5000 miles away with satellite surveillance and no supplies?
Or just cut them off from ALL gov’t services, tax them at double the normal rate, and prevent them from voting and possessing blades and firearms?
I tell young people that when they were born in America they hit the jackpot. It is up to them what they do with the winnings. President Trump keeps making that jackpot bigger.
