One morning, a US business man was walking down a beach in Mexico. He happened across a local man fishing and stopped to talked to him. The business man asked, “Do you live around here?” The fisherman replied, “Yes, I do.” “My house is just over there and I own this stretch of beach”, said the fisherman. “Are you crazy?” exclaimed the businessman. “You could get a loan and build a large hotel. And if you really worked hard and make a lot of money, you could fish anytime you want”, said the business man. The fisherman replied, “And why would I want to do that, I fish anytime I want now”.

Who are the truly smart ones? A simple life is not necessarily a dumb life. I bet they have a much smaller carbon foot print than the majority of Dems in the big cities. That would be interesting to see: which states (red or blue) uses the most energy per capita?
Just some thoughts from a rural boy born & raised in the big city…
