THE DEATH OF CAPITALISM: OBIT |

After a meticulous autopsy, performed by conservative Republicans and Blue Dog Democrats, it was announced last week that Capitalism passed away suddenly in January 2009 when a new administration in D.C. decided to put an end to Prosperity. For years Capitalism and Prosperity had been like Siamese twins… where one was found the other was not far behind. It seems that each fed off of the other. When Americans invested their resources in a new adventure, Capitalism paid off in terms of profits and jobs, and Prosperity followed. But Prosperity has never been content to remain the fruits of Capitalism, investing its profits in capitalistic opportunities, which produced more capital and more job opportunities with it. |

Music Makes the World Go 'Round |

Music makes the world go ‘round, soothes the wild beasts, and has a universal appeal. All cultures make some kind of music, and it can be as different as night and day. With seven acres of vegetables planted (finally), you know we do a lot of picking. But there is always time for picking guitars, too. |

We are told, No news is good news,” this is not always true. Some news never makes it into the papers or on television because it is bad news for the elite liberals who are seeking to control all news that may be adverse to their agenda. Recently two people were murdered in America by hate-filled culprits. Both murders received television time as well as newspaper coverage, as they should. But don’t you find it a little strange that a young American soldier was killed by a radical Muslim, and compared to the above cited murders received very little media coverage?

New Land, New Tractors, New People |

In between the flurry of farm activities here, I slip into Davidson Count and continue the fun. Twice we’ve taken our manure spreader there, and have about 150 tons of biodynamic compost spread over two acres on four different farms. One field is potatoes, one is sweet corn, on is melons and fruit, and the largest one is for the vegetable garden.
This is new land for me, new tractors, and new people, so I am definitely on a learning curve. The day I arrived to plant potatoes, George informed me that there was a wet weather spring in the back third of the field. But they already had the seed potatoes cut up, so we planted the whole patch. With the extra wet spring, that part of the field did not come up. So our potato crop, which is flowering and is hilled up, will be less than we planned on. But I planned on too much anyway, so we are about on target.

THE PLIGHT OF TODAY’S YOUTH |

America’s greatest treasure is our youth. However, there has never been a generation of young people in modern times with a greater cloud of bleakness overshadowing them as the youth of today. Many of them can’t qualify for college, thanks mainly to the laws of Johnny-come-lately politicians. A large number of those who can, can’t afford to go. And among those who go, many wonder if they will be able to get a job. Too, if they get a job, will they be able to keep it for the duration of their work years? Young people are highly skeptical about beginning a family, because many before them have left a pattern of failure. The ability to pay for a house and make it on one’s own has been jeopardized by ruthless politicians whose economic policies have blessed everybody but America’s youth. Politicians think more illegal young immigrants than they do native born young people. A bleak future, you bet! |
