Seriously, folks, if you really really can't stand 'em anymore, just move to one of the big urban centers of the country.
true enough. I've spent most of my adult life in cities and here I am now in one of the freakiest cities in the world, but the problem sometimes with having spent a childhood in fundamentalism is that it follows you wherever you go. although there are certainly external difficulties in leaving the church, the internal ones can be remarkably tenacious even once you've moved far far away from the scene of the crime.

This much Kafka was absolutely sure of: First, that someone must be a fool if he is to help; second, that only a fool's help is real help. The only uncertain thing is: can such help still do a human being any good? It is more likely to help the angels who could do without help. Thus as Kafka puts it, there is an infinite amount of hope, but not for us.
