Well....I look at it this way. In Kansas (can't have bread without wheat) - Half the population resides in Sedgewick and Johnson counties. Sedgewick is Wichita and Johnson is suburban Kansas City, MO. Since there isn't much in the way of mass transit in either city, it means that folks driving their Suburbans and Expeditions to and from work are competing with the farmers in western Kansas who are trying to harvest their crops. You implement a viable mass transit system in both those counties, and demand for gas drops dramatically - meaning the farmers in western Kansas aren't having to pay $4 or more per gallon to power his tractor. Look at the population of your own state - almost half live in either OKC or Tulsa. How's the mass transit system in Tulsa? World class? or are there freeways full of SUV's taking people to and from work?Yea the bread basket of the globe should consider mass transit when they harvest!....
You have never been too the midwest, obviously chucklenuts!
