Is that you see most of this stuff going on, far out in the countryside. These folks could be happy. A lot of folks could be happy.

They've got some room for a garden, all that stuff. And they go crazy with all this, surrounded by nature, and then this. They can't be content, no, not with any of that.

I don't know whether to cry or be sick. I wonder how much of the land, the countryside in this nation is possessed by this kind of thinking patterns. And it's why I live in town.
