Ok, I have 2 reasons to be angry.... the first is that I am trying to quit smoking, the second... well I will explain.
I hate "Corporate" America! There is this property not far from where I work. It's an old farm house with lots of clear, open land. The house itself is at least 100 years old but in very good shape. So good in fact that, up until 3 years ago, someone was still living there. They have since passed on so.... in swoops a "Giant" company to buy up the land, demolish it, and build a new gas station. Pay no attention to the small, local owned gas station across the street.... they will soon be out of business! Anyway.... I tracked down the owner of the property to try and gain permission to hunt there before they destroy it with their monsters of industry. By the way, the company who owns this property is about 180 Miles away!!!!! Literally!
After going around in circles with phone calls... one of their "representatives" calls me back and says: "I spoke with our real estate supervisor and he said ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! For insurance reasons."
Of course.....
What kind of sick society do we live in where everyone is so afraid of getting sued that they wont even let you WALK THROUGH THEIR D*MN YARD! They think I might fall, break an ankle and then sue them.
You know, the American dream USED to be: Come on over, find a job, work hard to buy a house and raise a family. NOW, the American dream is to hopefully slip on an icey sidewalk and sue someone so you can sit on your lazy *ss for the rest of your sick life.
So to wrap things up.... The price we pay for the society that we live in is loss of HISTORY to make way for progress..... (and by progress of course I mean greeed, monopoly, power, money, consolidation.....)
whatever
I'm p*ssed! Even the local Twp Supervisor said he didn't see a problem with me detecting there, but because I am an honest guy, I decided to call the real owner anyway. Alot of good that got me.
