We have nature in the cities.

With all due respect to the pigeons, rats, and carefully manicured parks: No, you don't.

If you did people wouldn't call 911 during a blackout because they finally see the stars.

I don’t need to live in some rundown crack village with a bunch of alcoholics and backwards KKK people to experience nature.

There's your problem, you're living in the town instead of way outside it.
