You can't hang a man for shooting a woman who was trying to steel his horse.
Americans don't eat horses. They are not raised as food animals and they are treated with chemicals that render them unsafe for consumption. The regulations needed to change their status to "food animals" would cripple every aspect of the horse industry as we know it. Plus, it would be wrong.
Sadly, there are more wild horses in holding pens than in the wild.
I'm a little prejudiced when it comes to horses. I have always loved them.
Horses were a way to travel to get to where we are today, and it is our job to protect them.
Eating organic, family-grown food is important to a lot of us, so that's why it's important to take care of the family farmers. They're the backbone of the country.
It's important because we are going around the world starting wars because over oil, and we don't have to do that. We can grow our own fuel here at home, help our farmers, help our environment, help the truckers ... help the local communities.
We've already been reincarnated about a million times, maybe. It doesn't make sense any other way.
I text and email my friends and family a lot, but that's about the extent of my high-tech-etude.
You want to be a good parent and you want to be a friend, and it's hard to be both. You have to balance it as well as you can.
I used to work in the cotton fields a lot when I was young. There were a lot of African Americans working out there. A lot of Mexicans - the blacks and the whites and the Mexicans, all out there singing, and it was like an opera in the cotton fields, and I can still hear it in the music that I write and play today.
Don't try to change anybody. And they should let you be yourself, 'You loved me when you met me, so let's keep going!'
Cruelty is all out of ignorance. If you knew what was in store for you, you wouldn't hurt anybody, because whatever you do comes back much more forceful than you send it out.
Since I was a kid, music was what I wanted to do. I thought I could make it by my own talents. That's what I wanted to prove.
