I think they look cool also.

I'm not sure, I was just referring to some people in my state (Texas) who say that.  I remember one farmer in this article who said he was outraged that his father put them on their farm.  YOU GET FREE MONEY FOR NOT DOING SHIT!  How is that a bad thing?  I could put up with something I thought was ugly on my lawn if I was getting $10,000+ a year per item on my lawn.

 

I believe there is a famous sign during the great depression that reads  "I don't want a handout.  I just want to work."

Some people hate free money.  Some people just want to work... and believe people should only get paid for what they do... etc.

Weird philosphy.  But some people have principils like that.  I mean he could just... give it away.

Or he may of just been against Wind Turbine energy due to it's cost.

Lol, well I don't think a farmer is in the position to say that getting free money is a bad thing.  He just said that he hated "the noises" they made as well as the sight of them.  But seriously, I would be willing to put up with a lot for that much money and no effort whatsoever on my part.

 



We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.  The only thing that really worried me was the ether.  There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke

It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...."  Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S.
