The store of old-fashioned words in the English language is an attractive feature, not a fault - at least for those who have it as their first language.<br /><br />"But the evils that motivate such relocations are also on the move. They’re oozing outward from their origin points in the large coastal cities and slowly encroaching on communities that were once untroubled by the racialist / socialist malady."<br /><br />I think you are putting makeup on a pig. The common excuse in flyover states is, "It's not socialism when we do it." The main difference between coastal and flyover states, is not the existence of corruption and wealth transfers and the like, but that the latter still have enough sense not to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
