Everybody tells tells all the stories of how so and so had a run in with the Army Corp of engineers, or whatever government officials over what they wanted to do on their own property. Who gives them the right to decide what might be wetlands and what isn't..... is the puddle I left against the tree a wetland if it has a particular insect buzzing around it---- do I have to stand there drinking glass after glass of water to maintain it if there is ?????? In the end it's the people who give the government it's rights and not vice-a-versa, no matter what they would have us to believe...... Still in the end it seems like the little guy always looses out to the BIG GOVERNMENT....whatever happened to "Government, of the people, by the people, for the people"??????? The biggest problem with this whole country is that the little guy doesn't have the money to stand up for his rights against the government that is supposed to be his because they already take their 1/3 off the top. Like one guy here said if it doesn't bother anybody elses property, then what gives anybody else the right to tell you what you can or can't do on your own property????? If EVERYBODY would stand up for their rights then there is NOTHING the government could do to them... that's the principle this whole country was founded on, freedom from an oppressive government that wants to control everybodys life..... If everybody stood up voiced their opinion, and excercised their rights as one instead of as individuals imagine the effect it would have.... Can you imagine the government trying to put 50 thousand or so good ole American farmers and country boys in prision just because they decided to do something as astonishingly dastardly and unlawful as building a pond on their own land...... In the end it's kind of like this when it comes to government fines and the like....I know it's a stretch,a totaly different situation, but it showes one mans triumph over the system because he was willing to give up "everything" for what he believed... A guy I once knew was told by the judge he would send him to jail if he didn't pay alimony to his ex who had cheated on and divorced him...the guy was living hand to mouth working two jobs to survive while the wife was shacked up with a rich SOB...He told the judge to go ahead, then he would be guaranted 3 squares a day, would have a roof over his head, and the BIT-- still wouldn't get a dime......The judge just threw up his hands because he didn't have anything left to threaten with......He wound up reducing the payment and letting the guy walk out because he (the judge) really had no other choice. This guy was willing to give up everything for what he believed... you can't bring a man like that down..... IF WE WANT TO KEEP THIS COUNTRY FREE FOR OURSELVES AND OUR KIDS, WE HAVE TO STOP WORRYING ABOUT HOW THE GOVERNMENT FEELS ABOUT EVERYTHING WE DO IN OUR OWN PRIVATE LIFE ON OUR OWN PRIVATE PROPERTY AND STAND UP FOR OUR RIGHTS...WE TELL THE GOVERNMENT WHAT TO DO AND THINK, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND....... Like one other post said though, that's just my opinion....I'd love to hear all the responses.....

Restoration Story: 1964 JD 2010 Dsl - Part 2 - by Jim Nielsen. Despite having to disassemble the majority of my John Deere 2010's diesel engine, I was still hopeful I could leave the engine-complete with crankshaft and camshaft-in the tractor. This would make the whole engine rebuild job much easier-and much less expensive! I soon found however, that the #4 conrod bearing had disintegrated, taking with it chunks of the crankshaft journal. As a resul
