You are absolutely right about that. Texas most definitely has some of the same problems. The stray issue in Dallas has made international news. The advantage Texas has over Appalachia is the population base is large enough to support relief efforts and those relief efforts are growing. Appalachia does not have the population base, but I'm hoping that the same thing can happen here on a broader scale if we can just raise awareness. This is possible. It can be done. We can absolutely change this paradigm. And this is a great way to start. Thank you for your comment. You have brought a great discussion to the table here. :-)
