The only person you can really rely on is yourself. If you are waiting for others to take care of you you will be waiting a long time. Time was people were a lot more self sufficient in this country. Like the farmers around where I live. If they get a flat they can practically build a new tire from what they find on the side of the road. I’m exaggerating of coarse but not by much. I always liked to go backpacking. I liked the feeling of having everything I needed to survive on my back and of being totally responsible for my own survival. You fall into an icy stream and get wet at 12,000 ft. and you could die if you don’t know what to do. Today lots of people don’t even know how to change a tire or their oil. They just call AAA or the tow truck. They depend on food being on the shelf at the grocery store when they want it. People ridicule country folk and make jokes about how many teeth they have but how many of those liberal elites could stalk a deer and kill it and clean it if the grocery store doesn’t have any food?
Of course, when they count our teeth, they conveniently ignore their own bridgework and implants.
They thing I learned after living our here for nearly 40 years is that there is a lot of money, education and sheer talent running American farms.
