After hearing her words, I'm glad she's gone, and hope she is not reinstated.
20 years ago is a long time and people do change their ideas in that time.
In 20 years I have gone from believing in social change as I was told it would benefit the country, to now seeing just how bad or good some social change can be.
Ideas are fine until they have been tested and the results after some odd years show--just how bad, or good the ideas were due to human nature.
We can have a great idea for America and it's laws, but it takes years for us to see exactly how the changes have benefited or harmed us.
Say you are a farmer and unsatisfied with the quality of your crop. Along comes a salesmen with a new fangled fertilizer. Next year you try it and get a bumper crop. Next year the crop doubles and you are thrilled.
Down the line after 10 years you notice some changes in the crop, the taste is a bit off, the looks of the crop has changed a bit. You realise that the crop is morphing something you don't expect or understand.
You want to go back to the crops you had before this new fertilizer but find the new fertilizer has changed the soil, brought in something that was never there before.
You contact everyone you can think of from 4H to the government experts. Soil samples are taken down to 5 feet and you are told the fertilizers have leached down to this level, to remove all that land to get back to basics will cost you a million dollars.
You win A big lottery and decide to go for it, The government comes in with a stop order, the land you are removing is now known toxic., You can never go back to your old ways, the government takes over your land to sell to a government Pot Growing Farm.
Strange Scenario but in a way this ,wearing a different hat, happens every day in one way or the other.
People will all ways have to battle those with different ideas and life styles, fight crazy laws that intrude on ones life style and ideas.
Say good by to this poor woman that has only recounted her past and make way for those that have a new fertilizer to sell us.
