What? I'm not. I wasn't born in the country, I don't live in the country and I can't really enjoy myself if I'm out in the country for more than a few hours. Middle-class city girl. Not Rim.
Is it "city vs. country"? Or is it a degree of complacency vs. independence?
When I saw the preview for Firefly I thought that it didn't hold much promise, but I decided that I'd watch an episode or two just to see. A western for gawds sake. In space. Ugh. I thought that the core planets with all the shiny tech and "pretty" would be the place where I'd want to be. Not out on the rim with horses and guns.
But it was the spirit out on the edge of the black that really holds a place for me. Even with cows. And dust.

Cool cool, glad to have helped

I can go for shindigs, sure. I love dressing up and eating fancy food, strawberries and hot cheese...
As for city vs. country, yes I think it is. The outer rim planets all look like the old west, the Core planets look like either the future or the incredibly high-priced present, and the planets in the middle (such as Persephone) look more like where I've lived most of my life. They're still Independent out there, as much as they can be. Just a bit outside Alliance control, but they've got more than blankets and hatchets to survive with. I consider it to be the best of both worlds, myself. Civilized without being totalitarian. Independent without being a never-ending struggle. You can stop judging my level of Independence now. I'm as much a fan as you are thankyouverymuch.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

I didn't intend to upset you, PR.
I never really thought of varying degrees of civilization. The picture that you painted is a continuous range from Star Trek core worlds to (dare I say it) Bonanza rim worlds. Perhaps my bias prevented me from seeing it this way. I guess I was just being black/white, not shade of gray. I put your "middle" in the core.
OK. Brain adjusted. Please accept my apology.

Kerry.
I've no idea where it is or what it's like, but as soon as I saw there was a moon called Kerry I thought "Yep! That's where the Irish are!"

DTH, Can I be your neighbor on Kerry?
Since there's no moon called Cork...and no planet named Dingle (thankfully!) I think I'll have to settle on Kerry, too.

Dunno. Athens maybe?
Sure you can be my neighbour, Mav :) There's lots of room in Kerry. You can't miss us. It's the only moon with two pubs for every three houses.
