Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["Dean" <andeanfx@midrivers.com>]

We are really not that different.  One thing I have been trying to do here 
is get people to question some of the teaching of this country.  We don't 
have to settle for the insulting pittance we are paid on savings here nor do 
we have to try to do it all ourselves when it comes to putting away for 
retirement.  This government is trying to block us from using the money 
tools that can help us get ahead or at least stay more even.  If we take 
their word for it we will always be trying to catch up.  We have taken a 
different path and so far it is working.
