My family were the Pioneers that literally founded the city where I now live. The metro area population is now well over 500,000.
In the 1960's this place still had a bit of that Mayberry ambiance, even though the population still made it one of the largest cities in the State.
Things began to change quickly after the interstate came through, slicing the town in half. It served as a conduit for carpetbaggers that made hobos and rod-riders of decades past seem gentrified.
Now, the slow changes brought about by big-city folk have come to a boil. Taxes are through the roof, and what is being squeezed out of a dwindling number of tax-payers is being doled out to the indolent - the indolent that have enough time on their grubby hands to devise even more ways to "stick it to the man".
Sadly, hard working Patriots that built this land are now viewed as "the man" by nuevo Bolsheviks - singing Kumbaya whilst sticking a shiv into our collective backs.
