Funny, I see the two Americas thing as being more a gulf between the progressives and conservatives, rather than rich and poor. From what I can gather places like Vermont & RI have very little in common with Texas & Arkansas. New England has more in common with Canada.
True. Sometimes I feel like I live in a different country than many of my neighbors to south or west. But then after 9/11, I felt just the same as everybody else. Unfourtantly, the President squandered that unique moment of national unity, for his own political gain.
