Why?<\/H4>\nSo, what’s all this paving for?\n

\n\"Did<\/a>\n

\nSo people can drive a little faster and not get dust on their cars.\n

Why Not?<\/H4>\nAnd now a word from the late Paul Harvey:\n
\nDirt Roads give character.\n

People that live at the end\nof Dirt Roads learn early on that life is a bumpy ride.\nThat it can jar you right down to your teeth sometimes, but it’s worth\nit, if at the end is home…a loving, happy family and a dog.\n

We wouldn’t have near the trouble\nwith our educational system if our kids got their exercise walking a Dirt\nRoad with other kids, from whom they learn how to get along.\n

There was less crime in our\nstreets before they were paved. Criminals didn’t walk two dusty miles to\nrob or rape, if they knew they’d be welcomed by five barking dogs and a\ndouble barrel shotgun. And there\nwere no drive-by shootings. Our values were better when our\nroads were worse!\n

People did not worship\ntheir cars more than their kids, and motorists were more courteous, they\ndidn’t tailgate by riding the bumper or the guy in front would choke you\nwith dust and bust your windshield with rocks.\n

\n…\n

\nWhat if it rained and\nthe Dirt Road got washed out? That was the best part, then\nyou stayed home and had some family time, roasted marshmallows and popped\npopcorn and pony road on Daddy’s shoulders and learned how to make prettier\nquilts than anybody.\n
