I don't really equate desolate with unpopulated. An area can be remote and unpopulated but far from desolate. As far as remote/unpopulated I would guess either the Bob Marshall Wilderness in Montana or somewhere along the Rocky Mountains in Colorado.For desolate, I would probably have to go with certain sections of Detroit.bob
Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".
