I lived in Craig for 2 years, and they were the most miserable years of my life. The people are backwards and stuck in the 1970's. They voted down a rec-center; when I was discussing the fact that we needed one, this old women chimed in and said, 'my kids grew up here without one, and they're ok!" Yeah, about that - meth (and other hard drugs) weren't as big of a problem as they are now and you could ride your bike from Craig to Hayden with only passing a few cars. The 70's were nearly 50 years ago - times change. Suicide is high, drugs are high, crime is actually higher per-capita than where I grew up on the front-range (nice try, people who say it's safe). They see no faults in their town, but are the first to complain that they can't sell their homes and can't find jobs (and of course blame the federal gov't when they have problems of their own that can be fixed, but they're too stubborn). You have to work to create jobs, you can't rely on ONE industry. These people need education - they are in need of some economics, history, and ethics classes, specifically.
