Totally, NOT impressed! Yes, we've ALL heard it before. Plus, I seriously doubt if Charlie, would stand-up, to real farm life. Hard work, is HARD.
Typing on a keyboard, or yellimg into a megaphone, is easy, in comparison. Heck, in jail, he was fed, 3x/day.
I'm building a Ranch/Farm, right now. It is taking a LOT of money, and a lot of hard work. IF the Great Collapse (TM) holds-off, for another 3 years,
we will be completly independant (the people in my valley, not just my farm).
We will have our own fuel, food, water, medicine (natural), entertainment, schools, and- lots of good friends.
Surely, charlie could have this, IF he truly wanted it. I think, he just enjoys having an audience. Playing for the people. If he really wants to be a
martyr, it will be arranged.
