Switching to anything else makes things overly complicated. some teachers don't know how to do anything but push the power button and check outlook, and typing a teacher's name instead of an address helps them a lot
That's just plain sad. Teachers are supposed to impart knowledge to the next generation, and they can't care enough to learn how to use the tools of the trade.
After 1993, some river towns did this - but it took a lot of strong arming to move small towns (less than 1000 residents, I think). People get attached to where they are and it takes a lot to uproot them.
Can you imagine what it would take to move a city the size of New Orleans.
The city had opportunity and buses to transport people out of dodge had they chosen to do so (buses sitting in flood water)
Things got much worse than the city and the state were able to handle when the levee broke - something that they should have had a plan for but either didn't or they didn't execute it.
And the gist of my post was that there is no reason to ration fuel right now because the high prices that we are seeing makes people choose whether do something or not by cost - there is no need for the government to do anything to restrict gasoline usage when prices are high - it's self limiting.
We could open a chapel in the middle of the city and have Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson preach there. That should send the people of San Francisco heading for the hills:)
North Dakota is smart enough to have a major river that flows north.
That in and of itself isn't bad, except for when there is a lot of snow, a warming trend in the southern part of the river valley, and a frozen destination (Grand Forks)
Your most profit per acre comes at 5-10 acres (depending on your family). Your greatest income is from ~3000 acres, though you make about half as much per acre.
Jeez - jump from the Amish to the superfarmer in one sentence!
In San Francisco, I have 10-20 companies that I could go to tomorrow and get a job. In KC, you would be lucky to have 2-7 companies in that kind of market if you were adequately marketable.
I live in a small rural town and have had DSL longer than many larger communities in Iowa. From speaking with the phone company, everyone in their area can have DSL - even if they are in an acreage outside of town.

Communications with students and parents - what's easier than exchanging an e-mail with a teacher for a quick question?
Once he's got that, then he can change things willy-nilly :)

...I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me!

I made the mistake of telling my brother I'd help him move.
That seemed like it was much more labor than sitting at a desk.

High prices are a form of rationing - it's just dependent upon individual choices instead of governmental fiat.

Which, if you look back to the 1850's, was one of the lightest decades for hurricane strikes on the United States (NOAA)
And they can call what wasn't destroyed "Old New Orleans".

I think that they are talking about temporary stuff to help replace the damaged infrastructure to provide service until repairs are made.
Meth is a plague and should be eradicated along with those who make and sell it.
And do you really want to have to be dealing with Billy Joe Bob's every day?
And we see where you fall. I'm sure that Billy Joe Bob doesn't want to deal with a whiny city dweller every day either :)
Small towns aren't for everyone.
Jeez - jump from the Amish to the superfarmer in one sentence!
Old farts. But, because they're old, they're dying off.
In a small town, what you do (and how you work) is more important than who or what you are.
My guess is that even if your son dresses like Dennis Rodman, but is a good kid, people will know it.
She was probably "volunteered" for the job :)
All you need is 1.
What good is coffee if it's not more expensive than gasoline!
1/8 section (80 acres) of good farmland will go for that in markets not distorted by cities.
Like most college towns (real ones where the college makes the town), I'm sure it is.
That is true - depending upon the size of the farm.
State College is about as rural as Des Moines and Fargo. For city dwellers, I'm sure that it sounds as if it is rural, but it really isn't.
