In a Small Town

John Cougar Mellencamp wrote and performed a song called "Small Town" in which he sings the praises of being "small town".

I moved to the big city years ago. Jackson, Ms was the first, then New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Nashville, Baton Rouge again, and New Orleans and finally Metro DC. I can say with all honesty and clarity, I prefer the small town. Small town people seem to be more genuine and heartfelt. They can be cliquish and petty, sometimes gossipy and narrow-minded, but deep inside they believe in the things that work...hard work, spending less than they make, working for the betterment of community.

So, today as we go to the polls and elect governors and representatives on the state level and Congress on the Federal level, let us elect the person who best represents what is best for our community and ultimately for our larger community, the United States of America.
