“The Amish have thought long and hard about tractors and decided that tractors would erode their community. They think tractors would lead to larger and larger farms: farms that would eventually need trucks. And as horses became less useful, members would face an even greater temptation to buy cars. Cars aren't evil - the Amish will travel in someone else's, if need be - but they help break down the fabric of social and economic life: suddenly people are living farther apart, and they have a big new expense to meet. Meanwhile, horses are cheaper, they create their own replacements, and they don't force you into dependence on oil supplies, or spare parts, or mechanics. And horses
have some intangible value, too. … instead of the ear splitting diesel roar there was quiet enough to talk.” - Bill McKibben in Enough: Staying Human in an Engineered AgeYummy recipe: mmmm dandelions, you might be amazed http://www.motherearthnews.com/Real-Food/2008-04-01/Dandelion-Recipes.aspx (recipes are on pages 2 & 3)

"Arguments are won intellectually; not love. Love is won with a dash of trust, a smidge of fear, and a pinch of letting go"
