For me, the value of small town America is accountability. That is the underlying theme in Snow's post. Accountability is all but gone in most segments of American society, and for me, it is leading to the decay of our country and ideals. A return to these small-town values, with some moderation, IMHO would go a long way towards improving our society.

Small towns are not what they once were. They are dying out. The small privately owned appliance stores, hardware stores, grocery stores, gas stations etc etc cannot compete with the rapidly advancing Wal-marts etc. 30 yrs ago, small towns still had affluent families living in them. Now many are inhabited mainly by white trash.
It is kind of sad driving thru some of these old small towns and seeing the buildings starting to crumble from neglect.
