A tale of two societies on this Fourth of July

A tale of two societies on this Fourth of July: There are two different societies in the West, perhaps particularly in the U.S. and Canada. This striking dichotomy is not, per se, between Republicans and Democrats, conservatives and liberals, white folk and people of color, or even rich and poor. It is the profound difference between those in large urban areas and those who live in the country and more remote places. It is nearly all-encompassing.
