I'd like to see you repeat that ignorant statement to some of the farmers out in Minnesota or North Dakota.

Why? What would they do? Certainly you aren't emplying they would do something to prove what we all know, that at heart they are thugs, living off the actually earned profits of others, are you.

I've worked on farms in Vermont, and with farmers in North Dakota. These "thugs", especially in the Dakotas and other midwestern states, can barely scrape by. Rates of suicide have gone up, family farms are being auctioned off every week from men who can no longer make ends meet. Sound like thugs? I think not.

My, my, my, aren't we the snotty one today, Hankie. Then again, you did select an appropriate handle, so one should not be too surprised when you act out your monicker.

Ah, but I digress, Snot-rag (that is the appropriately casual dimunitive for "handkerchief", I presume?)

To bring things back into focus, I would suspect that your florid fantasy life notwithstanding, the farmers in question would be more apt to hand you a shovel, a pail of seeds, and point you in the direction of a one-acre plot of dirt with your name on it, as they smiled and said, "here ya go, smart-ass city-boy -- now go feed yerself and show us all how it's done."
