Grow Your Own

I have been trying to write this post for a few days now. Today if nothing happens I promise to finish . Two things are happening here maybe three. I have some photos to help make my point. I have a friend that's adamantly against the judge's ruling. He fails to realize nearly 9000 petitioners disagree with him. He blames Judge Potter and Mayor Wharton for being racist and showing a lack of leadership. I can't make him understand they are honoring their constituents wishes. In this Eco-conscious environment where they're raising a garden on the White house lawn. Good luck against them and the animal rights activist. The only thing that would draw more attention is if the neighbor was fighting dogs.
 
The two pictures above show how this situation might get out of hand. It's like when a cub gets to be a full grown bear. What started  out to be cute and cuddly is now uncontrollable. That's why they tell you"don't feed the bears."  Back in May it was a neat little garden. Today it resembles an over grown field that needs to be cut down.  Once again the intelligentsia have spoken for the less educated.  Once it was revealed that Mr. Guerra was a math teacher and a couple of neighborhood kids were helping him out. The less articulate Mr. Dowdy across the street with the '91' Cadillac Sevilles' opinion didn't matter anymore. When he complained about the cat scratching his car.Someone suggested that he get a real job. The cats' comfort is according to some more important than his. Outsiders look at it as, at least the house isn't empty. We're collecting  taxes and MLGW is being paid. Now they're calling it a science project. Since when did raising corn, okra and tomatoes require special training?
The last thing is what happens due to blight. Whites won't live among blacks if they can help it, but Hispanics will. They might have a number of things we consider inappropriate outside their homes. Just because we have freedom of religion. You don't want your neighbor to hold a tent revival in the front yard.  Remember Julio on "Sanford and Son" and his pet goat? He didn't need a lawnmower, the goat ate the grass. What happens when they want to raise chickens in the backyard to get fresh eggs? Will city dwellers have to get used to roosters crowing at the break of day? They've started on this tirade that you can't find vegetables in the hood. Now I suppose you have to grow your own.
