I am a person driven by many passions and operate a business from these passions. Jack-of-all trades describes me pretty well. I grew up on a large family farm in Ohio, family moved to southern Indiana to run a 6500 acre farm owned by an insurance company, farm sold, moved to another farm owned by same company, farmed until I set up a business of my own at 30 yrs old.
I started an excavating and demolition business, still doing this 11 years later. I do whatever needs to be done, whether it be operating a 64,000 pound machine or repairing another machine. I don't like the quality of work most people do, so I am pretty much a one man show. The price one pays for being a perfectionist and to make matters worse, I am a passionate person. There is nothing like being a passionate perfectionist.
Operating a business where one puts heart, soul and occasionally some blood flowing from some point on my body. I have had several battle scars, doing whatever it takes to get the job done. I have worked with broken bones, pneumonia, in the rain and in bitter cold. There is nobody that I trust to put my name upon that finished work, so I alone must bare this burden.
Over the years I have attemted to work for several companies and somebody with common sense, a passion for work, a desire for perfection, can not stand to do without these things. I am not the favorite in a work place where these thing do not exist.

Should government regulate population growth? The answer is clearly, yes. When poverty does not exist in this country and there is enough jobs for everybody then maybe I would have a different spin on this. The need of food banks and charity is no more than I would change this point of view in a New York minute. As it stands now, there should be limits placed upon the number of children one can have. The question is not should there be limits, but who should be limited. I do not know of any law or regulation that is fair to all parties. There is always an exception to every law.
