David Paterson at the movies

colonie center theater exteriorGovernors -- they're just like us!

They go to the movies at Colonie Center on a Saturday night! They see the 9 pm showing of the Sex and the City movie! With their entourage! And security detail! And after the movie they shake the hands of all the mall security guards! And hop in their motorcade of ethanol-powered SUVs!

OK, maybe governors aren't just like us.

Let's stop romanticizing farming - it's not fun, it's not all bucolic pastures and adorable baby animals, and it's not a great way to make a living. It's dirty, filthy, back-breaking 24/7/365 work that is done for the LOVE of animals, family, and the land. Let's start to RESPECT farmers and do what we can to see that they are actually able to earn a living.
