that's a good question. living outside the city limit sign and paying only one tax to a county certainly frees suburbanites from some of the restrictions placed on city people. but then on the other hand most suburbs make a considerable contribution to light pollution and the wasting of energy with their use of street lights. their restrictive covenants governing their choices with regard to what they can and can't do on their 1/8 of an acre lots certainly brings to thought those same restrictive regulations imposed on people making the choice for city life. then there's that no privacy clause accompanying the life of the dweller who resides in a row house on an 1/8 of an acre lot. technically they have escaped the city only to create for themselves another form of a highly restrictive way of existing. so then in conclusion and after consideration for your question I'd say suburbanites are not the essences of what I consider to be country folks. in closing I would add how I have met several suburbanites who have trash bags in their cars and trucks.
no action always equals no action. or as another put if, for every action there is an equal and opposite opposing reaction. however, I do full well understand time constraints for the individual and how we do not always have the time required to act on every issue.
