Get with the program.
Everyone in the oil business should be taken out back and shot; we should return to subsistence agriculture where the rhythms of the seasons and days dictated our lives. We were one with the rhythm of mother Earth. Where we went to bed with dirt under our fignernails, and a warm fire on the hearth. Our children learned to work b/c they worked beside us every day. There was no need for three hour 5 am bike rides because our lifestyle itself was physical. The streams were clean, and the fish healthy. The yoeman farmer: life in Eden.
