this is a rhetoric question. everyone answers differently or not at all.

when i first gained acceptance to a land-grant university i realized quickly that a lot of folks were different from me. they spoke differently, talked differently, many had access to money.

i looked around and saw quickly that this world ain't the world i grew up in. many of these people don't understand the world like i do.

what world do they live in? are they serious about their beliefs? lot's of them (the females) are drop dead gorgeous.

in a less than perfect way, i realized i had left kansas and was now in a brave new world.

i did my best to adapt, not die nor migrate somewhere else.

and then johnson had his view of the world.

and he imposed it on the young males.

when did you leave kansas, and why?

Don't think I was ever there. I was seven years old when Reagan was shot, and I was mega pissed. Had a “bugout to the woods” kit by the tiime I was nine or ten. Carried my cap guns to Walmart as a six or seven year old kid, told mom I needed them to kill commies if we saw any when she asked why I needed them. Not much has changed, except the guns and what’s in my kit, and the purpose for it...

I left to take a job on the railroad.

As to bugging out, I ain't going anywhere.

it's amazing how diverse the world has become, love it or hate it. believe in it, or not.

our local appalachian hill country has become overrun with escapees from florida and retirees from atlanta.

and that's fine. land is for sale, and people come, look and choose to buy at a given price or pass it by for other opportunities.

honestly i really left kansas in a manner of speaking when local land prices jumped from 100 dollars per acre to 200 dollars in one year.

we were going to have guns, and butter at the same time. that was johnson's promise. deficit financing of war and social reorg had begun.

my god, how can poor appalachian hillbillies ever have a chance at owning land and being anyone but a sharecropper or maybe factory worker?

i left kansas when i realized i couldn't ever buy land at the prices that were being asked, and work at the paying jobs that were available. what happened?

What happened...

We were sold a bill of goods that keeps us believing we're being shortchanged...never mind the fact that the difference between what's found in a modern household in the 21st century makes the household of the 1950s look like paupers.

I don't understand WTF is wrong with people and why they cannot see.

In spite of the steady creep of socialism I never really thought, at any time from the cold war on...that the wheels could fall off this wagon we call the United States. But this crooked election and
the crooked judges to uphold it, may just wreck the wagon. Something that Hitler and communism couldn't do is being accomplished by third rate politicians, bureaucrats and lower court politically appointed judges and their accomplices in the media. November 4th 2020, I realized we weren't in Kansas.

Yes.

I left Kansas, when I started a career in law enforcement.

It's more like falling down the rabbit hole now n days.

.

I’m still here.....

we're glad for you. and more power to you also.

you must have never run into the annoucement from johnson that your were invited to give your life to his cause.

cause he was the boss.

stay hunkered down, and stay in a defensive mode.

taxes are to be paid, or you'll lose the lease on your land.

be safe my friend.

I left Kansas in 2003 right after I graduated college. But I’m only about 10 miles west into Missouri, so not far...

Poor old gus has been mindfugged since lbj touched his special spot and caused him to hunker down. He is an oracle though, so he has that going for him.

Better taxes over there. Kansas has the worst in the Four States.

Left Ks six days out of KSU in June 1973. Took a career job and have not lived in Ks since. Do get back several times per year to see family and hunt.

1959, first grade. We left Wichita and moved to Montana. Not one second of regret, except for the fireflies and heat lightning.

Chuck D is actually a decent feller. Flavaflav is a dumb [bleep].
To answer the question: I was raised as a Southern Baptist from Kenny Lake Alaska and the first Baptist church on the first Sunday that I was at Cambridge Mass was a solid realization that I was not in Alaska any more. The leader of the church was a de-frocked former nun who still wore her habit with her lesbian Nun Lover. They were in their 60s. They asked me to help them hide Sandinista rebels in the back of the church. They said there was no such thing as God and they were there to sing and overthrow the Government. I walked out right then. I never when back.

The Sheeple that we see are because they(Harvard circa 1987) implement Political Correctness. The world has not been better since.

Left Kansas shortly after graduating high school in 1985. Moved back for a few years after getting divorced. Eventually moved back to Missouri, about all I go to Kansas for now is when I am working on the Kansas side. One day I might put my lifetime license back to use and start hunting in Kansas again .

West?
🤔🤔

I assume ol’ Gus is being ironic with this question, ala, were not in Kansas anymore, Toto!

For my own self, I had to live there (to stay married, which I did, and am grateful for) from ‘94 - ‘98. Left to get back to the great land.
Hint: see my sig line.

Go west to get out of Missouri. Hell you knew what I meant. I’m the guy that gets pissed when somebody gives directions that are right and left. I want north south east or west only.
