I'm a total conservationist, too, and a follower of President Reagan in many ways. I live VERY close to the land as we raise small livestock, hunt, fish, have a quarter-acre garden and a fruit orchard with apples, pears, peaches, plums, raspberries, blackberries, Concord grapes, etc. and I do all I can in my little corner of the world to live lightly and organically. And I vote 100% Republican. Go figure!
And that includes living OFF of the land as well. So far this hunting season we have half a buck and two doe butchered and in our freezer. I'm actually eating venison chili as I type, LOL!
I glean the 500 acres of fields surrounding my small farm for Sweet Corn, Soybeans, Lima Beans, (with permission) and hunt and fish to feed my family. There is no doubt in my military mind that there isn't a Grand Design from God as to the usefulness of all living things. And that includes me:
POST HUMUS - By Patti Tana
Scatter my ashes in my garden
so I can be near my loves.
Say a few honest words, sing a gentle song,
join hands in a cirle of flesh.
Please tell some stories about me
making you laugh. I love to make you laugh.
When I've had time to settle, and green
gathers into buds, remember I love blossoms
bursting in spring. As the season ripens
remember my persistent passion.
And if you come in my garden
on an August afternoon
pluck a bright red globe,
let juice run down your chin and the seeds
stick to your cheek. When I'm dead
I want folks to smile and say..."That Patti,
she sure is some tomato!"
What the obnoxious and condescending RINO host of this thread doesn't understand is that The Natural World goes on above and beyond and with a MUCH greater importance than her/himself.
All you can do is pity people that are so out of touch with our basic instincts with the Natural World. When I'm old, I had better not be put in a city environment Old Age Home. If so, people are gonna hear, "Everybody hit the floor! Granny's got her .44!" ROFLMAO!
So.....let me get this straight, you can wrongly blather about calling me "obnoxious", "a troll", "condescending" and "a RINO" and who's being obnoxious and condescending, again????
Oh...I'm a guy, btw.
