I drove the tractor, that pulled the drill, that sowed the seed. ... I worked cattle from horse back, repaired fences, sunk post holes, pitched bales of hay, and put the salt blocks out in the pastures And now you sit outside Houston hopeing the wind doesn't change and blow all that polution your way. No wonder you are so upset at the world. You should be well aware of how fast things change and that if you don't embrace change it will smother you. TP

Haqi, I will bet Al Gore could tell you he has farmed, hoed, mowed, planted, reaped, done soil conservation, fertilized and anything else out there. In fact, he probably developed the main agricultural programs that exist today. It is through his omnipotent knowledge and leadership that agriculture has progressed as it has today. In fact, I would not be surprised if Tiger Paw may have received personal guidance on professional farming in todays world from Mr. Gore. The wonderful thing about Mr. Gore is he can interpret a poll and can morph himself in to whatever that poll dictates would make him more successful. The unfortunate thing for him is he is locked out from the informed and thinking citizenry because they are to competent in seeing the superficiality of his persona. Therefore, he has to present his wonderful, self created wares to government dependents and the unwitting.

~H~ I believe you and I have great respect for the little Farmer that was put out of business by big Government;-( I remember one of the first (in Texas???) whose Farm was repossessed by a Bank calling the Banker out to see his farm 'and Shooting him' I am vague on many of the details but it left one helluva Impression on me. One hell of a Tragedy in the USA:-) Believe itor not I know what you are talking about on the Farming;-) When I was a baby I crawled into a furrow where my Uncle was plowing with Big John the Horse pulling the Plow and the singletree caught me by the neck and Big John Stopped in his tracks and he would not move no matter how much my Uncle Gee'd and Haw'd and beat him. My Grandfather owned a lot of acreage and I loved that Farm where I could go in the Summer and pick huckleberries strawberries and Black and Red Raspberries and make Jam on a Coal and Wood Stove in their big Kitchen. Idyllic Childhood for me. Then I Moved on.....I have a Horsecollar my Uncle Framed a mirror with hanging in my family room;-)
