Please, for your own sake, don't ever come to Iowa.

I may be glad I moved out of Iowa, but I take offense to this. Most of my family and friends still live in Iowa. You'll never find more caring, generous and honest people anywhere. Sure, they have dialup internet and have to drive ten miles to buy milk, but I don't worry about being treated poorly. I feel safe taking our kids to my parents house and allowing them to play outside. My parents have lived in their house alot less time than I've lived in my apartment and they've actually met their neighbors. I graduated high school in Iowa, and would have had no problem going on to college had I chosen that route. There are certain benefits to living in the city, and I've chosen these over small town life, but please don't say Iowa's people suck. It makes YOU sound ignorant.
