huh? Bush is low cost? I don't see it. Education in the bush can't be 
considered 'low cost' because of the small student numbers. If the 
breadth of curriculum were to be offered that is available in larger 
city schools, it would be impossible to pay for. Fuel is more 
expensive in the bush. Housing is cheaper, sure. It may be important 
to include the components of 'low costs' or even 'high costs'.

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or 
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
