North Dakota has limits ~ first, how many peeps can deal with the climate.

My problem with the statement was it sounded like we needed to establish government control to keep it rural.

The gub'mnt already surveyed the land, divided it, tried to sell it ~ some of the railroad land still isn't sold ~ and then planted thermonuclear warheads in the ground all over the place.

That doesn't even count running off the Indians on behalf of the goldminers!

Gub'mnt doing something else to the Dakota country is probably in the cards but keeping it rural is the least of our concerns.

Think about all of our oil being located in a region we've made an attractive ICBM target!
