daethkow's open letter from the middle of the country -- a thoughtful look from a native Kansan. I still consider myself on permanent loan to the state, just for an embarrassing number of years. He's more capable of speaking as a true member of the community than I could ever be:
We don't have bad people, we just have unfamiliar people. People that need to be eased into the social changes that are coming. It's not their fault that they're insulated. It's not their fault that they're reactionary. Like I said, EVERYBODY fears change, even innocuous change. There will always be isolated, unfortunate cases, but by and large if you give people the chance to adapt they will adapt. And they will be grateful for your patience afterwards. I know. I was.
Refreshing perspective from the heartland.
