    Exactly. My dad works for usps and he handles a lot of mail sent to Michelle’s pac, and he said the words written on the envelopes scare him. Drawings of guns, slurs, etc on the outside of the envelope.
    I know some very nice people in Blaine, but a lot of uneducated, hunting/fishing is my life extremists who think anyone with a college degree or higher is evil.

      I guess a town with an 8-sheet rink can't be all bad, though it's not exactly a cultural gem. Good for parents at hockey tournaments, though.

        Here's the thing. It just comes down to personal preferences.

        For some people, like my wife, the view outside their home (or in my wife's case, even from their resort patio) needs to be natural and beautiful. They want trees, fields, flowers, streams, beaches, etc...

        Me, I couldn't care. You could put up a giant brick wall next to my yard and it wouldn't bother me at all.

        These people looked out their back windows and saw a giant green, grass covered hill that their kids could play on, sled on, etc... (and ignored the decades of rubbish buried beneath it) and saw nothing but peace and beauty.

        For all it's value, a giant solar array is pretty industrial looking. I know my wife would be pizzed if someone came and erected a giant solar array next to our back yard. Personally I'd try to figure out if there was some way for me to tap into it.

        It's a personal preference matter, and it exists in all communities, wealthy or not. If you don't believe me, propose a giant solar array along the shore of Lake Minnetonka sometime.
        That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

          Blaine was carried by 3.4 points (still ugh) with an incredible 82.2% turnout in a city that size. In Anoka County, Blaine was the 5th on the list of highest % for Clinton.

            And that is fine...I am not saying he cant want to have a worthless mound to sled on if that is what he wants I am saying he is a moron because he doesnt see how this would benefit him in the long run. Same holds true with your example.

            When I was in Costa Rica we got driven through the mountains. Gorgeous views, scenic route and within it a huge wind farm. (Costa Rica is rather big into renewable energy) Amazingly all the wind mills didnt make the rain forest any less beautiful or the volcano any less awesome. I highly doubt middle of nowhere Blaine is going to look any different with a solar array.

                  Further backs up my point...there isnt enough people in the red areas to offset the Blue. As long as The Cities, Duluth and Rochester hold Minnesota stays Blue. Hell even with a hated candidate it didnt go Red.

                          In Blaine? I don't think so. You're thinking of Ham Lake or Blaine 20 years ago. Blaine today is sharply divided by Highway 65. I mean seriously. Look at the divide on that map It's like it's a giant wall that separates two different peoples.

                                Even more to the point - this usually comes down to property value. The fact is that there will be less demand (i.e. lower price) for a home next to a solar farm than next to a grassy hill. If they are dumb, it's because they overpaid for the property based on the wrong assumption that the hill would remain forever.
                                If you don't change the world today, how can it be any better tomorrow?
