[QUOTE="cmjust0, post: 433268, member: 2882"] I get what you and most other folks see as "the point" to the whole thing.. Farmer's right to farm versus whiney city folks rights to enjoy the countryside.. Seems pretty simple, on the face of it.. However, what I'm trying to do is get folks to do is to stop with the immediate, knee-jerk identification with this particular farmer and look at the bigger picture.. In the bigger picture, we're talking about one person's right to do something on their property that screws with another person's right or ability to do something on their own property.. For instance, do we believe that people should have the right to walk out onto their front lawns and expose themselves to their neighbors whenever they see fit? If the neighbors don't want to see, they don't have to look, right? And so long as the guy's not getting naked on YOUR lawn there shouldn't be a problem, right? Of course it's a problem.. That's why such behavior is illegal.. Now, my guess is that the people living in the neighborhood have objected to the propane cannon not specifically because it's a farming activity or because they're trying to run the farmer off, but because it's plain old obnoxious... Ya know, kinda like a guy who walks out to get the paper in the buff every morning and doesn't give a rat's butt what anybody else thinks of him doing so.. Frankly, I just hope you guys can get past your emotional connection to the farmer's side of things and be objective enough to at least [i]consider[/i] what I'm saying here.. I'm not holding my breath, though.. [/QUOTE]
