Well, the real answer is for EVERYONE to become more self-sufficient.  Plus, 
quite honestly, the rural folks aren't subsidizing anything.  Very few taxes 
are coming from us real rural types.

So, out here we've found ways to fund most of it ourselves.  Like I 
mentioned in the other e-mail, our local transit delivers packages as well 
as people and that keeps the costs down.
