Common sense isn't.
Continuing from the church driveway, the road descends slightly on
the way to the Wheat Community Monument, which is about a half mile
away.
Around the corner, past the kudzu and high voltage transmission
lines, the monument comes into view at the end of the road.
The
monument stands in a grassy clearing next to woods on one side and
power lines on the other side.
There is a nice rock wall along the front of the clearing. The wall
is about three feet high, and the monument stands about seven feet
tall.
From behind the monument - The site overlooks a highway interchange
at the intersection of Highway 58 and Highway 95. A chain link
fence stands between the monument site and the road.

Quote of the moment |
It is said that Napoleon lost the battle of Waterloo because he forgot his infantryhe staked too much upon the more spectacular but less substantial calvary. The present administration in Washington provides a close parallel. It has either forgotten or it does not want to remember the infantry of our economic army. These unhappy times call for the building of plans that rest upon the forgotten, the unorganized but the indispensable units of economic power, for plans like those of 1917 that build from the bottom up and not from the top down, that put their faith once more in the forgotten man at the bottom of the economic pyramid. |
