Mr. Kean, I waited several days before attempting a comment. Please know, that I am sincerely sorry for your experience.
You did not ask any questions, but if you do have questions, I would be willing to try and answer them. I offer you 40 years’ experience living, working and studying rural communities all across the country. While I’ve also worked in big cities in 40 different states, as well as overseas, a large part of my consulting work revolved around my knowledge of rural community culture. Apparently, it is still rare.
For now, you and I cannot enter each other’s communities and expect to be treated as individuals anymore.
Again, if you have any questions, I would happy to try and answer them.
