There's an old Peruvian pepper tree at the Mission San Luis Rey out here which is supported by several crutches link
The tree dates from 1830. We bought a seedling from the Friars several years ago and planted it--that species really thrives out here in sandy soil.; 12/7/10, 10:13 PM

traditionalguy said...: The source on which we all lean all of the time is the surrounding righteous community that seeks our good and not our harm...and that requires a leader with that vision thing.; 12/7/10, 10:36 PM
Peter Hoh said...: Trad guy, I suppose as long as the righteous community has good intentions it'll be okay. Eh?; 12/7/10, 10:46 PM

traditionalguy said...: Peter Hoh...That is where the leader comes in. What flows down from the leader can be a blessing or can be a curse. Our successful leaders have been tough, honest and faithful Scots-Irish men and women. With a coward or a thief as our leader, everything we lean upon falls apart.; 12/7/10, 11:11 PM

Peter Hoh said...: Trad guy, I would prefer not to have to depend on the good intentions of the Dear Leader.

I want checks and balances and limits to what Dear Leaders, well-intentioned or not, can do.; 12/8/10, 12:54 AM
Fen said...: Exactly. And its never the Dear Leader thats the problem. Its the one that replaces him.; 12/8/10, 1:28 AM

Providing boundary
In a black and blue
And black and white world
While an old survivor
Awaits another spring.; 12/8/10, 1:39 AM

Which is the Lefties' problem. They don't care what's done as long as they like the intention behind it.; 12/8/10, 5:37 AM

No shoutingthomas, not the communist Lenin...they sound the same but its not the same person...just heading you off at the pass.

Peter Hoh said...: Edutcher, not minding what happens as long as the person in charge has the right intentions is starting to become the right's problem, as well.; 12/8/10, 11:26 AM
