Well, there you have it. James has converted approximately half of the  
country.

I'm a little nervous, though. If half the country become horse-drawn  
homesteaders, what will happen to all the workers in the food,  
education, tractor and farm implement businesses? The mind boggles.

Of course my mind boggles easily--for instance, at the sight of a  
callipygian pygmy.
