Personal observations are viewed through the lens of myopathy. Just because you don't see it, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Just because you don't know it, doesn't mean it's not true. And just because you think it, doesn't mean it IS true.

That is why god invented science.

Meanwhile, a lot of people living in The Villages has forgotten that "the bubble" is not a compliment. It is a pretty derogatory term for narrow-mindedness and insular thinking. If it doesn't happen to me, or anyone I'm friendly with, then it really doesn't matter at all.

And that's all well and good. But I personally prefer civilization, and all is different shades and varieties of good, bad, and inbetween.

Great post!
