To me the cons severely outweigh the pros. Plus, its hard to ignore the fact that this was the time when the most destruction was done to the homesteading way of life with RAPID suburbanization.
All good points. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I do understand.
Plus, for me personally there is the hell that is needing to hide who I am as a bisexual man and facing the looming threat of violence for simply being bisexual.
