Presidential Debate 3: The Sacred Stones

[BitVyper]

But farming is Big Business nowadays.

For the big businesses, yeah. Not for the farmers.

Farmers get up before dawn, and finish work after sunset, and they very frequently have next to nothing to show for it.

Most of their jobs are fun to do

To be fair, it almost always seems like that from the outside. Things have a tendency to stop being fun once they're a job though.

Edit: There are a few wealthy farmers out there, but for the most part, the actual farmers are more or less the equivalent of your retail floor associates, only they have to run the proverbial store by themselves, including paying for equipment. It's a stupid state of affairs, given how necessary their work actually is.

I'm willing to let Obama get kinda frazzled now, dude's been campaigning since what? Last August? Now he's in the final stretch, his grandmother's not doing too well and the Republicans have restored to throwing, among other things, the kitchen sink and the septic tank at him to try and bring him down. So yeah, a guy's gonna wear out, I'm impressed he's made it this far without collapsing.

I compared his latest speech about McCain's economic policy with his acceptance speech at the DNC, and he's definitely lacking some of his presence...

Page limit. Was pretty far off the original topic in any case.

Feel free to do follow-up threads for whichever of the assorted subjects under discussion.
