Yard Wars!

I was reading the most fascinating forum today: a site to vent your frustrations about neighbors! (What an interesting way to blow steam instead of throwing eggs..!)
After scrolling through endless rants against wind chimes (who knew they were so controversial??) I discovered a new thing about Americans--we aren't divided politically, but more importantly-- we are divided by our lawns.

For every crunchy American "food not lawns!" wildflower enthusiast, there is a tru-green manicured turf Nazi waiting with a soaker hose. More than once, I read of posters that secretly hosed their neighbors lawn with weed killer, when the neighbors weren't home--simply because they were so irritated by the neighbors dandelions! (Holy Shit!)

And back and forth it went--letting the lawn go brown in times of drought (it's good! no, it's evil!) One poor lady wrote how her neighbor came over (while she was at work) and mowed over her clover and wildflowers-- because "she couldn't stand looking at it"..!

So I am thinking we could save tons of money in this political season, by stopping all the  ads and shenanigans. Let's just ask the candidates one important question: which side of the great American lawn debate are you on??
