I think people stereotype Kansans looking like Neanderthals in Pilgrim's clothing. We aren't all backward. We are a fiercely proud people. Many of us are descended from those original pioneers. My ancestors are both American Indian (I'm Cheyenne-Arapaho) and a wide range of European settlers. At one time there were more newspapers being printed in Kansas than in New York. There were Irish newspapers, German newspapers, Danish, Swedish, Polish, every community had its own paper in addition to the competing city newspapers. Anyway, working on the ground here one of the biggest hurdles that we face is convincing people to get involved. Many are still listening to the GOP tapes that "Kansas is red, give up" type of thinking. It is one of the reasons we have trouble even getting placehoder candidates on the ticket.

Sorry about that Canada crack. :blush:
