As I said in my post, I was not referring to posessions, toys and large homes. I am referring to the fact that people have decent incomes, good health and live in a safe society.
I'm finding it a lot less safe than it was just a few years ago. Two weeks ago police raided a major drug-manufacturing lab just three houses up the street from me. Last year, a man in the next block was beaten senseless in his living room by a drug-crazed home invader. Last summer, I saw two men high on some vile concoction or other beat an animal to death in the middle of Main Street. Several years ago, my next-door neighbor was carried out of his house in a body bag after a drug deal gone wrong.
This is a small town of less than 8000 people. When I was growing up, we literally didn't worry about locking our doors. Now I lock my doors and own a gun. If this is the kind of stuff happening in a place like this, I pity you folks who live in the big cities.
