A lot of the stories of “Black Helicopters” from the 90’s was the EPA.
We bought a backhoe in 1992 to clean out the ditches on our property.
They were flying over constantly while I was digging out the ditches.
Dropped down about 30-40 yards from me one time and started taking pictures.
I reached in the cooler and got a beer then waved at them.
Ruined their whole day.
A friend of mine had them drop down on him while he was mowing his fence line.
There are plenty of self appointed overseers as well.
Around here we have the Raisin valley land trust. They come along in their cute little kayaks and write in their important looking notepads as I burn styrofoam on the shoreline for their benefit.
