Utah Town Has Question About President: 'What's Not to Like?'

An good look at the political life in small town America. Makes you think about what life in the rural areas are like.

I saw a movie, the Real Dirt on Farmer John this weekend.

It was good, but I had some serious reservations. First is that this is a total ad for his business in some ways. That being said, it is effective and the thought behind CSAs is a good one. The other thing is that he is a true non-conformist in a small town. The cunundrum is interesting because at one point the film laments the loss of small town rural farmers, and later the film criticizes the small-mindedness of the community. The paradox is worth examining more, but the film fails to do that. This is true of many places where individuals and the community are at odds. Main Street is a great novel that exposes this conflict in a small Minnesota town.
