My theory about politicians says: The bigger a orginization becomes
the more political activities are needed to succeed. More minipulation,
trading favors, public relations, and all the other activities that
could be considered marketing. In smaller orginizations there
is more room for ethics and intelligence to work.
As best i can tell most of our politicians are motivated by the
game and not by a sense of ethics or intelligent vision of what
is possible.

Our seasons are pretty close. The hawthorns bloomed about a week
ago and our liliacs just finished. We are now beyond the frost
period so it is time to plant all the warm season annuals. In a
few days i'll drag all the tropical plants out of hiding and let
them bask in the sun. Ah... spring, lots of work and anticipation.

Is iron-sulfate considered organin? We us it on the slugs and
the results are very good. Actually, it is the only safe technique
that has worked for us.

Spring, an experience in immortality. --Henry David Thoreau
During Britain's "brain drain," not a single politician left the
country.
