Don't get me wrong about property rights. I'm all for them. Yes I own some hunting land. Not very much. About 33 acres. Could have owned a lot more if I hadn't opted for lakeshore. The fact is when the founding fathers were writing up the Declaration of Independence they had long and protracted arguments about what should be in it. There were several, including Jefferson and Hancock who wanted it to read "life, liberty and property". Instead it got changed to the rather muddy "life, liberty and pursuit of happiness". I support property rights entirely. Yet I see those rights continually diminished by zoning laws and wetlands acts, building codes and various other laws that restrict our use of our lands. I don't like it. I also don't like to see people like those who are protesting on Wall Street and asking for ever greater redistributions of wealth. Because one can be rich in land too. And if we start bilking the people who are wealthy money wise what is to stop the redistribution of land to the poor too? So just for the record I absolutely support you guys who don't allow hunting or tresspassing on your land. On the other hand I just don't believe all the stories about slob hunters. I know a lot of hunters personally and in 40 plus years of hunting myself I have never seen ONE incident like so many of your are proffering. I happen to think a lot of the posts in the hunter thread below are coming from anti gun and anti hunting types and so I am lumping most of those posts as bunk. Yes I understand there are a lot of slobs out there and there are people who could care less if it is your land. Remember I live in the City... I think most hunters are honest, responsible and grateful to have a place to hunt and in no way deserving of the sorry stereotype some of you have. And lastly, how many of you who don't allow hunting are also tired of deer eating your crops? I've seen your posts here too where you do the quiet .22 cal in the belly shots so they go crawl off and die somewhere. Makes me wonder who is the greater slob - you or the hunters you like to put down.

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: Winterizing Engines - To Drain or Not to Drain? - by Russ Berry. What is this strange attraction I have to equipment and machinery? How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
