Good Sense
It is often we find something that we wished we had said, and just the same way! We felt our Mahnomen readers would like for us to pass this on to them for it is well worth the remembering. Henry Ford, a man who has a great respect for the land, wrote just recently: "The land! That is where our roots are. There is the basis of our physical life. The farther we get away from the land, the greater our insecurity."
"From the land comes everything that supports life, everything we use for the service of physical life. The land has not collapsed or shrunken in either expanse or productivity. It is there waiting to honor all the labor we are willing to invest in it, and able to tide us across any local dislocation of economic conditions."
"No unemployment insurance can be compared to an alliance between man and a plot of ground."
This is sanity and truth. We could use it as a foundation of life.
