one of the most things I hate lately is being politically correct. I remember growing up in the 50's and "those" type people lived in the projects. Well, I can say that today, most of "those" people if not all, own their own homes went on in life and have done pretty well. It may have been the times, the morals and respect of the times or combination of all, compared to today. God help anyone, especially in any office, government or private, that can say, those people in those projects. This Woodstock fair claims 225,000 per day, go through, I've attended that fair for many years and only last year decided to start airbrushing and entering.. Last year was second place, (there was no first in that category) figure that out, and this year is the saw in American Heritage... I do not want to copy "known" sayings (ie) don't tread on me.. I think I will slightly modify my original "eternal vigilance is the price of freedom" and add, "or we will be cut down" or something similar., thanks all

"Freedom is like rain, but requires thunder and lightning."

It's not verbatim but similar to a quote I recall from some statesman or somebody about 100 years ago.

I have that gum wrapper in the corner of a pic of my land. I will have it carved in the cross beam of my timberframe house when it is built.

Probably a little too long, but...

I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

Can you post a pic of last years winner? Sounds like fantastic work.

Bright sun shining through the window, this may or may not come out. It is what I see out my front door.
