oil greases government -- Henry Ford parody

"The Land! That is where our roots are. There is the basis of our physical life. The farther we get away from the land, the greater our insecurity. From the land comes everything that supports life, everything we use for the service of physical life. The land has not collasped or shrunk in either extent or productivity. It is there waiting to honor all the labor we are willing to invest in it, and able to tide us across any local dislocation of economic conditions. No unemployment insurance can be compared to an alliance between man and a plot of land."
-Henry Ford

"The Money! That is where our roots are. There is the basis of our physical life. The farther we get away from the money, the greater our insecurity. From the money comes everything that supports life, everything we use for the service of physical life. The money has not collasped or shrunk in either extent or productivity. It is there waiting to honor all the oil we are willing to invest in it, and able to tide us across any local dislocation of economic conditions. No environmental assurance can be compared to an alliance between oil and a plot for money."
-Henny Fjord
