        With all of the advances in Technology, why is it we still cannot provide cheap, fast Internet service to Rural areas? It's a damn shame.

        This is the problem. If your town is virtual ghost town, MOVE where jobs are or create a business. Coal mining nor milk man is coming back.

        PPL like Taylor are stuck because they are unable & unwilling to adjust to a changing world. Instead of growing in college she went home

        This shows that people who live in rural communities very often don't want to leave when the opportunity presents itself!

        Since when have Americans considered themselves mobile? Where I grew up in Michigan, moving 2 hrs. away for college was mildly amazing.
