    Honestly, all they really need are better schools and then about 20-30 years for those kids to become adults. Changes society for the better. Religion is a big chink in people’s armor here. I wouldn’t count 'em out yet, but right now…God fuck there is some crazy shit that goes down there, lol.

    Still, gotta give them credit where credit is due: Idaho was the state that hosted the Sawtooth wolf pack which was a research program that later helped reintroduce the wolves to Yellowstone. This led to a broader effort to restore apex predators across the US, which has restored ecosystems and made the animal populations much more healthy, from the northern US all the way down to the southern US.

    So, while Idaho can sometimes be rather trying, they have given us some pretty good environmental gifts and research.
