I blame Thomas Edison for our country's woes

[arcadian]

Think about it, no light bulb = no internets. We'd all be potato farmers if it weren't for that bastard Edison. Happy fucking potato farmers at that. Edison killed my dream of living an agrarian lifestyle and I'll never forgive that rat fuck.

7. Actual you are ALL wrong - it was Samuel F.B. Morse who invented the telegraph whom you should blame

It was the first digital electronic communications network in history and as such has more in common with the underlying principles of the internet than either the telephone or the light bulb.

11. Americans should blame the ostrich for this countries woes.

12. Funny!

Well we went and started a farm.
After numerous downsizing, outsourcing and companies that just flat disappear overnight.
We found a place in rural NC. Part of an old tobacco plantation, the house is newer, but had been abandoned.
Not far from Yanceyville NC. Folks are pleasant and polite, its quiet. We (partner doing the heavy stuff) are planting a 60x70 foot garden in back and a 60 x 30 plot of organic tobacco out by the drive. As we go we will be planting orchard trees.
