Susan Jane in Maine:  Fantastic, people with opinions and ideas, and good 
ones to boot !  You have NO idea how refreshing this is for em.  I've been 
wondering about goats, and wondering if they would eat all the dang weeds 
around here.  Some of them have nasty thorns as they get bigger,,,, but the 
other desert person would know that one better possibly.  You wouldn't happen 
to have a recipe for norwegian/swedish style goat cheese???
 
 
 
Bob
When I was a kid in northern 'burbs of Chicagoland, the neighbor used to grow 
a phenomenal amount of food in his backyard.  Some of those were raised beds 
too.
 
Bob,
One year I got a bunch of seeds from one supplier, and not one darn seed 
germinated.  Which is too bad.  The same thing happened with another 
individual selling seeds to an herb I like that is hard to get.  100 seeds, 
directions followed perfectly, not one seed germinated.  Very disappointing.  
Even though I've grown them from seeds before from my own plant...(my ex got 
the plant....)
 
 
Lynn:
I did the same thing on an application, but the interviewer picked up on the 
dumbing down part quick.  I did get the low paying job though (they were 
desperate) although I didn't stay as I knew I was moving out west somewhere 
(and of cousre they knew I wouldn't stay - they don't care about that).  It 
was great living close enough to walk & bike to work though.  There 
apparently is a constant turnover of people here in NM.  People work for a 
bit, and then quit and collect unemployment.  How they get away with that is 
beyond me.  So there's always openings at the grocery, walmart etc.
 
Occassionally I turn on the TV and I have noticed this year more and more 
stories about working people and kids becoming homeless.  Same with retirees 
who have owned their homes for years.  They couldn't keep up w/rising costs.  
One guy out here rides back and forth to town (a long way) in a mule pulled 
wagon.  (And the local DMV made him get a vehicle license plate,,,, geesshh ! 
jerks !)    Also saw a story from SE US where a guy turned off his tractors 
and started plowing with either horses or mules.  (Bet he's back to the 
tractor now that fuel is lower).
 
 
ANYONE:  I'll take any information available on working over the internet....
 
 
Lynn, couldn't agree more on government being a separate monster....

I just went to wikipedia to see how it was defined by others.  below is the 
definition , with which I agree.  I'm not well spoken enough to make the 
capitalist argument against this definition of greed; but I know, motivated 
or not; I can't be that way; and don't particularly like to be around people 
who are that way.

For other uses, see Greed (disambiguation).

Greed is the selfish desire for the pursuit of money, wealth, power, food, or 
other possessions, especially when this denies the same goods to others. It 
is generally considered a vice, and is one of the seven deadly sins in 
Catholicism.
