Soon the President of the United States will pick a new Supreme Court Justice to replace David Souter....needless to say the litmus test may again be Roe v. Wade. Sunday Mr. Obama braved hecklers at Notre Dame... proposed Common Ground between two "irreconcilable camps" on the issue of Abortion. How will all of this will help Blacks decide whether or not to buy a new Lawn Mower?
My Catholic Neighbor to the Right of me has a brand new 80-inch Gas-Guzzling Mower with a gigantic grass catcher and an elegant ignition system. This neighbor also has a Scorched Earth power train and a Your-Ass-is-Grass and I-am-the-Lawnmower attitude. Needless to say...his daily cuttings makes a yard look more like Plowed Ground than Common Ground.
The Local Liberal to the Left has a recycled reel mower with a refurbished grass catcher and a composte-ignition system. This neighbor has an Irritate Authority power train and a Your-Assets is-Grass and I-am the-Lawnmower attitude. Needless to say her random cuttings make a yard look more like Coffee Grounds than Common Ground.
"There's one good thing about snow, it makes your lawn look as nice as your neighbour's." --Clyde Moore.
So, the guy in the middle, the Minority Man, looks amused at the snow job in his neighborhood.
Seeking Common Ground he buys a refurbished but full-warranty Lawn Mower with very few bells and whistles but one important feature. The ability to cut the grass just right ! It's power train is based on Practicality and it's grass catcher is goal-oriented and balanced. He cuts the front every week and the back yard every other week.
The moral of the story. Focus on what everyone agrees is achievable.....preventative education, reductions in abortions, more efficient adoptions...are just a start. That plus an attitude to pursue the practical is the best policy of all. That's a Kick-ass Lawnpower with Assets !
