Re: [RC] removing manure from paddocks serious business! - Barbara McCrary
Lots of city folks want to get back
to nature, but they don't want to do it on foot. They want a wilderness
experience that is easily reached by automobile. The same can be applied
to wanting to live in the country, but wanting all the conveniences of the
city. Some folks just don't comprehend that you can't have both at the
same time.

I think a lot of it
comes from ignorance. For instance, I didn't know my dog would not be
welcome where ever I went until I was reading "You can farm". Luckily I
read it before I bought a farm and moved to the "country" (hard to claim it is
country when starbucks is less than 10 minutes away). I think it's the
same thing. People move expecting it to be like the suburbs, only less
crowded.
Education is the
answer. After that, you treat 4 year olds as 4 year olds even if they
are 40 years old.

Some folks think education is the way. I hear that out west they give
newcomers a pamphlet called something like "the code of the west". It
explains what is expected behavior
wise.
Education? With all the time, money and energy we spend on education,
then why do stupid people still try to cross rail road tracks when the gates
are down; why do people still put cups of hto coffee between their legs when
they drive? Peeps are "educated" 6 ways to Sunday and still behave stupidly.
As far as I am concerned, people who move into horsey communities either fit
in or get out. We don't go move into a tennis commmunity and start building
barns and bringing in pet goats. sigh!Education doesn't work - treating people
who BEHAVE like 4 year olds AS 4 year olds - now that might
work:)! S
