I have not followed the string of comments regarding this incident and I am a bit confused... at what point did it devolve into finger pointing based on one's zip code? Was it my description of it as "idiocy in rural Oregon"? If so it was not intended to be a biased statement as such, but rather a short summation of the situation as it happened in an area outside of the city. Let's stick to the topic and not get lost in our egos.
