Oblivion. Sounds like sour grapes to me. If you won't visit Australia to see how the land lies, the least you can do is come down to New York City and see why the gun laws are in place.
Re. cities, I stand by the historical FACT that cities have dominated. And yes, I mean cities from Ur, Aleppo, Mohenjo-Daro and Sparta, to Rome, Alexandria, Carthage and Tyre.
I'm interested to know
a) Where are you getting your history information from?
b) Why you didn't seek to understand my definition of "city" as" I understand it", before choosing to disagree with my statement?
Alexandria and Rome are pertinent examples, where Alexandria absorbed vast amounts of wheat from the nile floodplains (rural areas) That wheat was in turn consumed by Rome - oh look, a city - in vast amounts.
The needs of Rome, dictated the lifestyle of farmers on the Nile.
Interesting that.
