		Rural populations suffer more injuries from lightning, farm machinery, firearms, drowning, and accidents involving vehicles such as boats, snowmobiles, motorcycles, and all-terrain vehicles, although separate rural morbidity and mortality data are often unavailable for such accidents (Gamm, et al., 2003a; b; c: OSHA, 2003; USDA, 2003c).
		Rural residents in general are characterized by a relatively low mortality rate, but a high rate of chronic illness (Gamm, et al., 2003a-b).
		Rural areas are especially disadvantaged in meeting the needs of children with serious mental health problems because of the relative lack of psychiatrists, especially child psychiatrists in rural areas.

	FRB: Speech, Olson -- Economic change in rural America -- July 26, 2002
		For communities in rural America to provide the benefits of rural living to more residents and, in turn, for communities to benefit from an increased population base, they must first understand the economic changes that affect the rural economy.
		To examine why some counties emerged from the 1990s with population increases, we need to review the changing nature of the rural economy.
		Though manufacturing was thought by many to be the primary alternative to agriculture as a source of employment in rural areas, a recent study indicates that manufacturing jobs in rural areas have increased only slightly since the mid-1970s.

		We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile.
		Well, Americans can’t say the same, because they are on the bottom of the "totem" pole when it comes to Members of Congress supporting their traditions, American culture, etc., in favor of courting foreigners.
		Americans should not have to fight for their inalienable rights over and over again, considering these rights are written in stone.

		In rural poverty we see families struggling to find affordable shelter where rental housing is scarce, struggling to earn an adequate income where earnings are already low, and finding their way to work, school, the grocery store and child care, all where public transportation is often nonexistent.

		Rural life has a peace that those who have it always know and those who don't have it never felt.
		That's part of the reason why in tomorrow's agriculture, two groups of farmers will survive: those who are the largest-scale, lowest-cost producers, and those who position themselves to be suppliers of a unique product.

	Education Policy Analysis Archives: Vol. 3 No. 8 Howley & Theobald "Book Review"
		Americans who take charge of the things of the world--by virtue of the positions they inherit in the great systems of power--cannot acknowledge the existence of a rural world.
		Rural life, rural literature, rural history, rural philosophy, and (we note with some irony) even rural educational research are among the endeavors that are marginalized.

	News Briefs - Rural Roots, Volume 4, Number 1 (February 2003)
		Recognizing that our role at the Rural Trust is to help rural people help themselves, we're establishing regional teams who are knowledgeable about and skilled at helping people develop place-based education in their communities.
		As place-based education grows and the Rural Trust reaches out to new places and answers requests for assistance, this highly trained faculty will be available to provide a variety of services that support place-based learning to others around the country.
		This people-to-people approach to building the capacity of rural Americans has tremendous potential because it honors the skills and knowledge that local people bring to the table while giving them the tools to facilitate changes in their own communities.

	Monetizing Envy and America’s Housing Bubble
		The virtues of hard work, thrift, and discipline were rewarded when the day came that the local banker approved the mortgage loan – naturally, the local banker approved the loan as he took the time to get to know his customers and felt that hard-working, thrifty, and disciplined people were good credit risks.
		Mortgage loan terms were limited to 50 percent of the property’s market value, with a repayment schedule spread over three to five years and ending with a balloon payment.
		And because of tax relief, Americans have more to save, spend and invest – and that means millions of American families have moved into their first homes.

		Rural areas face particular challenges in this regard, as smaller, locally accessible schools are closed in favor of constructing larger, much more remote schools.
		In the Appalachian region, a very rural part of the nation, evidence suggested that the rise in the number of middle schools was associated with a decline in the number of K-8 schools (a proportional decline of 24% of such schools reconfigured in the same four-year period).
