Article Finally Reaches Outstate North Dakota

So what your article [“No. 1 Hard,” February 2006] tells me is that your intent is to steal North Dakota’s oil reserves. Has it occurred to you that we like it here? I’ve lived in California, Florida, Connecticut, Ohio, Washington, and Pennsylvania. After seeing these crime-filled, dirty places it was always my pleasure to come home. So much so that I chose to raise my children here, where they had more freedom and safety. If you don’t like it here, leave and leave us alone.
