Shake Some Dust: an American Expatriate Traveling in America

Episode 33: Town Hall Meeting Aftermath: The Widening Gap Between Rural and Urban America


Listen Later

In this episode I talk about what I learned from a Town Hall meeting in Walden, CO where Sen. John Hickenlooper was the guest speaker and answered questions the locals had for him. One surprising thing about all of it was how little the Wolf debate entered the conversation, except to exemplify the rift between rural and urban, and how the will of the Cities is dictating the lives of the people in rural areas.

The comments and observations expressed in this podcast are my own and subject to scrutiny.  My comments are in no way meant to malign or slander anyone mentioned in the podcast. They are simply personal opinions.
