'I think it's something about the earth, a sort of communion with the Lord when you can go out there and plow your fields and produce half of what you eat. Most people here realize they're not really college-educated types, yet within themselves they are secure." An extreme sense of self-reliance, growing rarer by the day in urbanized America, and at the same time an odd reliance on each other against the outside world...
