Remember that Republican candidate who wanted to find "cracker like" people for an ad in West Virginia and Lee Atwater who called the heartland religious right people "extra chromosome" people...
Oh, the rural heartland, Yah. I think that view of all people in the mid-west being simple, god fearing folk, and the assumption they're all Republican, is pretty elitist in itself.

Besides which-- maybe I'm totally off-base here, but it seems to me the whole concept of a local fire department funded on a subscriptional basis would violate some sort of law against monopolies. There's no one else who can really provide the same service...[/quote]
Have two fire departments funded by subscription. Say one for home property and the other for commercial property. ..... Problem solved. No monopoly.
