Me again. Point of observation. People who have and work on old tractors machinery, true 4 wheelers and off roaders, true ourdoors people (men and women included, and firearms owners all seem to have a few things in common. We tend to think a lot about things and research them, how else could we keep the old machinery running. We tend to do a lot ourselves and take responsability for our actions. We don't need a bunch of people to live our lives for us and we're strongly independent. We also seem to be outcasted by a lot of people and thought to be living outside what society considers acceptable. Maybe that's why we see a lot of the flaws and problems that modemn society tends to ignore trying to live in a Utopia that doen't exist. If we all ban together, maybe we stand a chance of returning this country to some of the better values that we've once known. Remember being able to leave a house unlocked, keys in a car. Helping out a neighbor without worrying about being sued. And they say we have it better now with Big Brother looking out for us. I for one believe less government is a better government. Have not only a great day, but a great live. Keep positive.
