The use of methamphetamines has become pervasive in our country, and especially in rural areas.

I like rural areas.

Democrats do best in urban centers, Republicans in outer suburbs and rural areas.

The poverty found in rural areas has some characteristics that are very different from the poverty found in inner cities.

What we know about American medicine is that our supply of health-care professionals is not equally distributed. In rural areas, we have severe shortages.

Look at our population here. People come from all over the country: urban areas, rural areas, suburban areas. We also have international students here. If you look at the national statistics, and you look at correlation and probability, that means that possibly one in 200 students here could be HIV positive.
