Darren, You know the well meaning of any president falls away somewhere along the way!
Eileen, Yep that's it! If you're buying into a place then do your homework! there is a railroad track in our town and my son and his family live near the track about 2 blocks as the crow flies and sometimes the engineer blows that horn so loud! BUT what if they didn't and someone crossed the track and was killed because the train didn't sound the warning? That engineer would lose his job! I live at least 3 miles from the track at any given point (again as the crow flies
) We can sometimes hear that horn from way out here! I live in the middle of peanut fields and cotton fields and every fall the peanut dust flies and we all get allergies, but you know what? I'm not going to bring a lawsuit against the farmers--Ooo, maybe they'll start a dust tax that'll fix those devil farmers!
( I will admit back in the spring I did want to kick some farmer hiney because they sent their tractors out when the wind was blowing 25 mph to plow up some fields! The dust was so thick it was like driving in a horrible dust storm for 2 days! that was dumb!
)
Musicman, I didn't say the farmers were innocent of any wrong-doing! They are just as greedy as the congress and big business!
Yes, they should be penalized for the stupidity, anything for the almighty dollar!
And the housing deal? Oh that is sickening! It makes me sick to think of what they have done to people in the name of WHAT? You name it.. I think we are in a bad fix here! What did the banks do with the bail-out money?? Why did the big CEOs get a big bonus and everybody else got "screwed" as you say
something is really messed up, I wish I was smart enough to figure it out!
Grrrr,
Kathy
