If I were to give the creators and legislators of such things the benefit of the doubt, and say that they were honestly attempting to "do for you", as opposed "do to you", I would say that the highway to hell is paved with good intentions. But, I"m a synic, and believe that there"s something much more sinister at work here, and that"s a premeditated weakening and dismantling of our American society and strengths. Children are no longer tought at school, they are mentored and molded into anything but scholars, more aptly, brainless, thoughtless jellyfish. Parents are being replaced by "educators". And do that class after class, generation after generation, and you systematically dismantle America as we know it. Abraham Lincoln said, "You do not strengthen the weak by weakening the strong", and there was a time where we wouldn"t accept or allow such a thing to happen, yet now it is the norm, not the exception. Well, I don"t know about you or anyone else, but if I had children, it wouldn"t "take a village" to raise (indoctrinate) them, it would take their parents to raise, love, and nurture them. Enough of that, it rained all last week and the Allis and the Deere sat out all week (coffee cans over the stacks). Figure got moisture in the mag on the Allis, so couldn"t belly mow. And the Deere fired right now, but caught a stump with the guard on the front of the bush hog and bent it back and down, now acts more like a submarine gouging the grass. Can"t mow until I fix them, because got no children to send out to broaden their horizons by having them fix them. Darn.

He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana.
