Food for thought...
I live in a rural area and reasonably regularly see things such as double wide, double stack hay rolls on the road through our valley secured at the front rolls and held in at the back by the ramps. I also see 45ish hp tractors "secured" with dog chain a couple times a year. Hell, I know someone who transports his skid unsecured behind a 1/2ton... he isn't a farmer. At the same time I also very regularly watch idiots tailgate or blow past both me AND high crop tractors with spray bars at 70mph along a double yellow....sometimes in fog.
My personal favorite, as a gun enthusiast/owner, was puling into the gas station by my house for a drink and seeing the un-stickered truck in the handicap spot with a loaded revolver laying on the bench seat with the windows down.
It's not rednecks, farmers, or rice burners as an individual groups. It's the people in general who fail to take in consideration how their behavior might impact those around them.
