I don't want to go there. I see the problem of America being shackled to the demonic cities. If we could break that link, we would have a shot at restoring the Republic.

What does that mean? (I'm not trying to argue, I've heard this before and I don't get it.) Are you saying you want a return to a mostly agrarian society? To break up the economic power concentrations of cities? I don't see these as viable (or even desireable) so I'm curious what that means to you.

Note: I live in an exurb myself, so I've already removed my family from the city.

Ag an extraction would be part of it but also manufacturing which seems to exist mostly in small to medium cities. Not necessary to break the economic power of the big cities but to separate from it. We would need to establish our own financial system to be able to function but it would serve the society not dominate.

If you've never read any of the Distributists (Chesterton, the Catholic Worker Movement, the American Solidarity Party) you would probably like them. And they would give you good intellectual ammunition to back up this position.
