Been inclined to wander... off the beaten track.
That's where there's thunder... and the wind shouts back.

Like most of the giant machines, it destroys the earth for profit. Duh.
"Altruism is killing America. We who want to save America must repudiate this killer, root and branch. We must understand and explain to others that the acceptance of altruism necessitates the violation of individual rights... and that the arguments for altruism are baseless..."

WRONG. That is a machine designed to destroy invasive species and kill parasites that harm endangered species. Duh.

Oh good, something to get me started on a rant.

When I was a little boy, I lived with my grandparents for a while - my dad was studying, my mother was working in a bakery to support him and her, there wasn't much in the way of money.

Anyway, my grandfather was the estate manager on a beautiful old castle, nestled into the last remains of the Germanic forests where the the Romans got a massive black eye from the Germans. The area was not overly developed, mostly farms and forestry. The villages were mostly over 1000 years old, the farms not much younger. The castle I grew up on was build in the early middle ages. It was idyllic.

Then some ****er found low quality coal, not deep down enough to warrant conventional mines. Never mind that it was almost useless, never mind that nobody really knew what to do with it, coal mining was hugely subsidized at the time. Only for the resulting coal to sit in huge mountains in the middle of nowhere.

So, all of the villages, the forest and the castle were bulldozed, to be replaced by an open cast mine. A thousand years of history disappeared before the teeth of that machine, to be replaced by a hundred bland little subdivisions and a couple of trees.

The politicians and captains of industry who were responsible for this are criminals, in my opinion. They destroyed a thriving culture and replaced it with modern day schlock. They tore communities apart that went back centuries and replaced it with garbage. Sure there were people fighting back, but they had little chance. It all went.

I think I saw one of these at Kmart the other day. It's endorsed by Martha Stewart and used in her garden or anyone else that has one as large as hers.
