I composted long before today's "experts" knew what it was and only a
lazy person shies away from rototilling. So how do today's "expert" put
in a lawn. Lay cardboard and newspaper across the empty space for a year
then seed? Todays "experts" have an answer for everything, that is
taking shortcuts to save the environment.

There are those of a different opinion on rototilling. Why shouldn't
their concerns be allowed to be expressed?

"A lawn in preindustrial times trumpeted to all that the owner possessed
enough wealth to use some land for sheer ornament, instead of planting
all of it to food crops.

And close-mowed grass proclaimed affluence, too:
a herd of sheep large enough to crop the lawn
uniformly short. These indicators of status whisper
to us down the centuries. By consciously recognizing
the influence of this history, we can free
ourselves of it and let go of the reflexive impulse to
roll sod over the entire landscape."

You are in favor of saving the environment, aren't you?
How would you do it differently?

Please, continue.

They paid for it in blood. Real working class heros.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.
