"I know..." by which I meant to suggest that the person selecting an option from the poll believed that he or she knows based on their (your) selection. In my case, yes, I believe I know something about it based on my residence. I was not trying to suggest that other's might not know something based on their own situation.

From there the discussion wandered into an attempt to analyze whiter my criteria were appropriated, especially the freeway on ramp part. I see access to the alternatives for culture and livelihood as being strongly influenced by ease of interaction with the outside world and I see most of that coming from the commerce that moves by roads - thus the freeway idea.

In any event, I seem to hav offended you. While I am perfectly willing to unapologetically offend people I prefer to do it on purpose rather than by accident. In this case it was accidental, and I beg your pardon for my offences!

Peace, namaste'.
