The Sign Sums It Up Nicely

I've looked at this signpost every week since last October , today after a conversation with some of the guys down at Buddy's garage , I thought it appropriate to write this .
If you move here or anywhere else for that matter to escape the everyday stress and get away from your old life then welcome and please be advised that you left that existence for a reason . If you want a super Walmart at the corner and twenty different fast food chains , go back there ! If you just can't live without cable tv , bars , traffic , crime and all the other trappings of civilization , go back there ! For some unfathomable reason people move to the country or in our case the desert and immediatly want what they loosly call progress , or civilization . They want more rules and regulations about how everyone else should live . It's been said the worst tyranny that can be practiced is to keep making laws and regulations that always for someone else's own good ! The people who are living here are doing fine , they are self reliant , accept responsibility for their actions and generally take care of themselves and each other ! Do you just have to have that 3800 square foot adobe house with the Mexican tile courtyard with the half a million dollar price tag ?  Fine , don't expect everyone else to fall down and worship mammon with you though ! I can tell you the mountains certainly don't care and if you need all those services to keep that monstrosity up and running ? I'm not going to pay the freight for you ! I watched the Florida Keys go down the tubes because of the pinheads that couldn't live without that golden calf to do their ego trip with . The end result was the really good people and the really fun people moved out ! Thnks to the fat cats and their overpriced edifices the taxes sky rocketed , the basic services became a burden for all but the very well to do and the guy that just wanted to get by and live a good life was history !  The real estate brokers and agents that perpatrated this are now suffering greatly , GOOD . Some went down with the average guy , some got caught with all that high priced real estate when the bottom fell out . Sorry about that !
For all the politicians , carpet baggers , real estate agents and various other nefarious characters this signs for you .....
