What’s the Matter With Kansas?
Although dated, this a very insightful and applicable article. Unfortunate, yet accurate and inevitable.
"Slow Death in the Great Plains"
The Atlantic Monthly - June 1997

"A sizable swath of the country's heartland is undergoing a severe drop in births that, if it continues, could empty many small towns in just one generation."

Sarah Palin
Op-Ed: She broke the G.O.P. and now she owns it.
By Frank Rich, The New York Times
Published July 11, 2009
"[Palin] stands for a genuine movement: a dwindling white nonurban America that is aflame with grievances and awash in self-pity as the country hurtles into the 21st century and leaves it behind."

Gas station closes; bus stop moves

Kinko's and other retail communication businesses do provide internet access in-store for those who need it; emailing, document creation, internet access. All for a small fee based upon amount of use.

Gas Station and bus depot is closed
The tickets, like anything else, can be purchased online. If someone indeed doesn't have a laptop, they can use a computer at a Kinko's or the public library for a small fee.

"Do not misunderstand. I am no fan of hissing, hyperactive lawmaking, of more agencies and rules and insidious bureaucracies, of unchecked powers given to our megalomaniacal politicians to probe and peek and control. Far from it. But I'm also not much of a fan of the silly hypocrisy of bogus outrage, the feigned indignation, the puling and ranting about what we ourselves happily agreed to construct.
Freedom doesn't mean wanton wasteful, lawless, screw-'em-all behavior whenever you feel like it because Jesus and your drunken id said it was OK. It means being able to see the nature of that pool we all built together, to dive in deep, sink and spit and maybe sometimes nearly drown, and still come up laughing. Doesn't it? "
