That statement is "Idaho isn't a rural State". Seriously, have you actually looked around Idaho in your travels. I don't mean while cruising at 65MPH on Interstate 84 through the Boise area. I mean virtually anywhere else in this State. Just throwing some stats around doesn't make it true. Maybe throwing out a statement like "southwest Idaho isn't a rural area" would give you more credibility. While not apples to apples, take a look at this 2006 population heat map and you'll see why I have a problem with your "fact" http://eoimages.gsfc.nasa.gov/images/imagerecords/7000/7052/us_population_2005_lrg.jpg In your video you actually bring up an interesting statement of “fact”.

That’s exactly why I live in Boise, and that’s how I’d like it to stay.
