Can't explain why and don't care. There's an interesting explanation in the You Tube comments below that video of how that song was written. <br /><br />Development, loss of open space, sheeet, I want to be positive, but I've been in the fight and it's a monster. Ugly greed. 10 years into my own struggle, having won every battle and the war to save my farm, having rewritten and gotten our county zoning ordinance changed to save other farms without the pain we endured, I'm moving out of state. To another Carolina and hopefully to a larger farm with fewer struggles. We won and I'm beat. So *%$&* tired...<br /><br />SeahorseSeahorsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00133454380103294333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-80670113242794605902010-09-23T15:32:02.697-04:002010-09-23T15:32:02.697-04:00Marie, that's a very good point worth making!
...Marie, that's a very good point worth making!<br /><br />The U.S. Government is buying land (or renting it long term) all the time to in the form of Pittman-Robertson land and the Conservation Reserve program.<br /><br />In addition, there are MANY natural lands trusts and conservancies beyond TNC.<br /><br />On Pittman-Robertson land :: >> http://terriermandotcom.blogspot.com/2006/07/pittman-robertson-land.html<br /><br />On CRP Land :: >> http://terriermandotcom.blogspot.com/2004/08/banking-land-for-wildlife.html<br /><br />On local and national conservancies (for both small and big donors) <br />:: >> http://www.natlands.org/<br />:: >> http://www.landtrustalliance.org/<br />:: >> http://www.landtrustalliance.org/http://terriermandotcom.blogspot.com/2007/06/buy-land-god-aint-making-anymore-of.html<br /><br />P.PBurnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05781540805883519064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-26875061595190156672010-09-23T14:27:05.281-04:002010-09-23T14:27:05.281-04:00seeker, the Nature Conservancy buys up land with t...seeker, the Nature Conservancy buys up land with the donations they get.

I live in my home town and I just want to move on to somewhere else. I wish I could purchase enough land to help save it for the next generation, but its out of my league. I'm glad I don't have kids, because they would never have the childhood I did. That paradise is long gone.<br /><br />Debi and the TX JRTs.seekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07054814598250286797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684843.post-37359341918776684892010-09-23T10:55:35.903-04:002010-09-23T10:55:35.903-04:00I've always loved this song :)I've always loved this song :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02236911493162944726noreply@blogger.com
