	As it was me that started this, allow me to expand and
	make my apologies to all the Iowans out there.  Iowa has
	its strengths and its weaknesses.  I really liked the people,
	they were easygoing, friendly and by-and-large well-educated.
	It had the characteristics one might expect of an agricultural
	state, and some of these are great strengths of the U.S.

	I am, however, not the agricultural type, I am a very urban
	person and many of the things I had grown to accustomed to
	after a life in metropoles were simply not available in Iowa
	and I found it most frustrating.

	I should also point out that I was in Iowa just after the worst
	days of the farm crisis and there simply was not the money in the
	state to give a good standard of living.

	Alec.
