Goddamn, Willie Nelson is my hero.
In my opinion, he's done more for Americans in the last 50 years than the three branches of government combined. NPR's Kitchen Sisters did a wonderful audio documentary today on the 21st annual Farm Aid.
People don't realize that without farmers, this country will crumble. I sure wish that the government would take heed and quit subsidizing farmers to NOT grow things. I reckon that with NAFTA and CAFTA, the powers-that-be don't really care.
"Cultivators of the Earth are the most valuable citizens. They are the most vigorous, the most independent, the most virtuous, and they are tied to their county and wedded to its liberty and interests by the most lasting bands." -- Thomas Jefferson
