Bundy, he speak the truth. IIFFy believes, and listening to some others on here I bet they are ready to leave home and head out to Nevada any moment now. Don't forget your sheets and gray flannel Y'All.

Cotton gins don't pick cotton. They separate the seeds from the fiber.

+1 It's actually somewhat of a sad tale. Kris Kristofferson was a good friend of Joplin's and had no idea she'd recorded his song until after he'd heard she'd died: bittersweet.

You have to have no fear of losing anything to really be free...very very few can make that claim.
That's very true WTF. I have a friend though, who's pretty close. I jokingly call him Tom Joad 'cause he lives like a 1920's era dirt farmer. He and his wife live in a 1 room cabin with no running water, no electricity, no phone. I think the only material possessions he cares about are his '72 Telecaster Deluxe (which he can't play amplified) and his John Deere tractor.

We are all enslaved by vote buyers. Try taking away Medicare from old folks. Try taking away the home mortgage deduction from the rich and middle class. Try cutting unneeded military bases from the military. No different reaction than trying to cut welfare from the poor.

I'm in favor of taking away the home mortgage deduction, and all the other government goodies, in exchange for getting rid of welfare. That would be change I could believe in, as well as a chastened Federal government as a result of viewing the boiling anger of states that don't have their rights respected by the Feds.

Haha, that's true. Kris and Janice were in a relationship at one time.

Yes. And we've been trying to help you escape, but you keep breaking back in to that prison.

To keep with the musical theme I saw Springsteen at the Music Hall when he toured The Ghost of Tom Joad , in the mid nineties.
