"I feel like a regular anarchist...... "
thats the funniest thing i have read all night
(besides my hands are tired from all the wringing)
gubermint is a funny thing,,,,
and you don't have to go far to see radical differences in enforcement and attitudes
for instance the county in kansas where i own my little spot of heaven (as if it exists in kansas) is getting to be so anal about everything it is beyond belief.
you would think they were NYC, and the whole of the county is something like 13000 people. they gotta control everything. they even have concerns about air quality
and diesel emissions, they bought into this line of horsecrap as if anything is going to effect their air quality when the average windspeed on any given day is 12mph!
couple that with the fact that there isn't a valley deeper than a standard bar ditch anywhere in the county for polution to settle into.
As i have stated they enforce their little laws by passing laws mandating that meter readers, mailmen, linemen, or anyone else that happens across your property to report you for any unusual happenings,,, lets face it listeroids are unusual to alot of folks.
so you see my concerns are valid.
as opposed to the county to the east of my property, it is like the wild west, you do what you are man enough to do, and nobody gives a crap one way or another.
the folks that live in that county are so indidualistic that i think they shoot at the mailman before they see his colors, lineman? oh yes those are the guys that come around
and hook up the lectric after it has been out for a week or three. the county is so poor that it took a texas millionaire to take an interest and plunk down several million just to resurrect the county courthouse (because he like the french archetecture).
in that county, and epa guy would probably be hung at dawn, and no one would think a thing about it, there i think i could heat my house burning old tires and no one would say boo or chit. A listeroid would probably be written off on a 2 cylinder JD that had a miss,
funny what just a few miles makes in attitudes
and i have trouble with a certain british dude
maybe i should sell out my 10 acres and buy into the county next door?
