Not Ranked : 0 Re: Star Ledger: NJOA LOL. Good points.
I suppose it is the bane of all successional generations and growing populations. I imagine your sentiments were the shared by the Native Americans as they watched the Mayflower make its landing on the shores of the New World.
The issue in Mr. Aun's article is the "rural" aspect. When my great grandparents arrived in Monmouth County it was in the late 1800's. They did not emigrate from an "urban" area and certainly did little to change the "rural" aspect of Monmouth County by doing so.
I think Mr. Aun was speaking in terms of "urban" living and "urban" values transplanting "rural" living and "rural" values. At least that's how I view it.
All of your points are well taken - including your emphasis on "KING," although Mr. Aun refered to me as a real action hero. Regardless, neither description is remotely merited and your sarcasm is warranted.
Thank you
