$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('anthem', ' ')I question whether it was written by an actual farmer.
Naw but it resonated with the intended audience.
As you point out, the writer’s lack of knowledge, not to mention the ewww! factor labeled him at first glance, for me at least and I don't got much knowledge.
The legitimate object of government, is to do for a community of people, whatever they need to have done, but can not do, at all, or can not, so well do, for themselves -- in their separate, and individual capacities.

Our family has had to cut back on trips to restaurants of late. When we do go out, it's usually to places that offer coupons like two entrees for price of one. I like cooking, but I often have eight people staying for dinner (kids bring friends), so going out for dinner occasionally is a treat. We have found that going out anywhere, whether it's dinner, a movie, bowling, recreation centers has really become expensive and hard to find the money for, so we're trying to engage in more low-cost fun.
I lot of people we know have less money for going out now than they had, say, a couple of years ago; however, here in Alberta the popular restaurants and attractions still have brisk business.

I'd say that's the economy reaching the tipping point. It's similar here in the UK, but perversely, right now I have more money than I ever had before (which is not saying much, anyway).

Exactly, Doly, my husband's and my combined incomes are higher than they've ever been but there is less disposable income, even though we're fortunate that we have a small mortgage. Energy costs in Alberta are quite high (and will be higher still starting this month). Also, as the family's designated grocery shopper, I've noticed food prices climbing steadily. We're working on finding more things for our teenagers to do that are low-cost or free, while still keeping them busy and out of trouble.
