WHAT REALLY DISTURBS ME EVERY ELECTION YEAR IS NOTICING THAT VIRTUALLY EVERY CANDIDATE MAKES IT APPEAR THAT THEY HAVE LIVED IN LAS VEGAS ALL OF THEIR LIFE, WHICH IS RARELY THE SITUATION. MOST OF THE CANDIDATES ARE TRANSPLANTS, LIKE MYSELF OR HAVE FAMILY THAT LIVE HERE, BUT THEY HAVE SPENT MOST OF THEIR LIFE OUT OF STATE. PEOPLE SHOULD BE STRAIGHT FORWARD ABOUT THERE ACTUAL HISTORY AND NOT FORGET THEIR GRASS ROOTS IN THE PROCESS.
1A MY FIRST JOB INVOLVED BEING A LEAD FOR A SEASONAL CORN DETASSLING OPERATION. THIS INVOLVES GROUPS OF SCHOOL AGE KIDS THAT WOULD WALK DOWN THE CORN FIELD ROWS AND PULL MOST OF THE TASSLES OFF OF THE TOPS OF THE CORN TO PRODUCE QUALITY HYBRID SEED CORN.
