Well, I don't think underage drinking is generally a contributing
factor in population growth but I think I get what you are driving
at. In Coeur d'Alene, my former hometown (before Moscow), that
seemed to be the major outlet for us disaffected youth. There are
arguably more recreational outlets in Cd'A than Moscow (the lake, proximity to
skiing, etc.) but the 'youth problem' was there. I get the
impression that Moscow is not nearly as troubled by 'troubled youth'
as Cd'A (which was about the same size then as Moscow is now.) I
admit to being pretty out of touch: what is the scope of the problem
in Moscow?

I couldn't agree with you more.

Well, actually, it is all of our small town (or probably small city
would be more accurate.) You may not like changes but they are likely to go on happening, for better or
worse. I hope we can make it for better.
