The Importance of BarbadosIncomplete - Under Construction ! Unless you live in the southwest, or perhaps the Dakotas, its difficult for a typical American to contemplate a situation where the nearest university; or hospital; or food store; or individual, could be 200 miles away. The fact that we are Americans is the result of many individuals who did contemplate that reality, 370 years ago, at 10 times the distance I suggested, who successfully solved all the problems that arose and thrived on the challenges !
