Just curious, do you ever feel that there is just reason to break your 
word, once you give it?  Let me be more specific, and this question is 
really for everyone...In a homestead deal, regarding land, as in Don's 
case, or a homestead resource, like wood for heat, or even seed 
saving,,,is it ever okay to go against your word, and if so under what 
conditions?

The probably think of you as chauvinistic, too, either that or as a 
stupid redneck hick or something equally rude.

I hate it though, when 'progressive' people impose their values on 
others.  They THINK they have the high road, but often that path is one 
born of naivety.
