Those compliant suburbanites

Over the weekend I attended the Union Center Bash In suburban Cincinnati.

As I was in the beer line, a woman comes up behind me and this was the conversation

Woman "is this beer line single file?"

Gordon "Yes"

Woman "Why, it's so much slower?"

Gordon "Actually, it's faster. This way if one server gets held up for some reason it doesn't hold up the line for everyone behind them..."

Woman "suburbia cracks me up... they're so compliant"

Gordon "Whatever"

This chick then goes on to rant about she doesn't own a car, lives in the city, blah blah blah.

To which Gordon didn't say anything because he had his beer and, because of the faster beer line, he didn't need to listen to this ding dong anymore.

But like a lot of things, that conversation has stewed in me the past few days. And you know what? She's correct.

Suburbanites are so compliant, they do these odd things like follow the law, vote for competent politicians, stand single file in a beer lines and not shoot others at a peace bowl.

Tonight in the city Organizers are holding "Cease Fire Cincinnati". If organizers don't want anybody shot tonight... they should move it to of those compliant suburban places like West Chester or Mason.
