Kelly in Kansas

Via The Cranky Professor, another take on what's not the matter with Kansas. Although I was born in Missouri and still have fun teasing fellow Kansans that they have to "show me," my residence here for the last decade has made me appreciate their "western spirit" and frontier tenacity. Also note that the article that stated that Kansas is as "flat as a pancake," that study only took one small section along I-70 (and it wasn't the Flint Hills) and although we don't have the majestic climbs of the Rockies, we're not totally flat - just like all of New York State is most certainly NOT New York City. But, living in "flyover country" has its advantages - one of which being having your feet in the ground and having not only discovered the "reality-based community" in the recent past, but -- more importantly -- having lived in it since we were born. BTW, everyone should be proud of where they're from - our diversity is our strength. Trying to pin everyone into one right, excuse me - "correct" - category only weakens us.
