No, I prefer a rake too....

Leaf Blowers are yet another toy for this new generation of lazy bums
who were kids in the 90's, and raised by computer games while their
parents slaved at their jobs to be able to afford all the hi-tech
needs of these kids. They cant do anything without power. Then we
wonder why energy prices keep rising......
Not a one of these "kids" can use a hammer. They must buy a nail gun.
Not a one of them can use a screwdriver, they buy a screw gun,
complete with extremely overpriced, and short lived batteries
Not one of them can use a snow shovel, they buy a snowblower
Not one of then can use a rake, they use a leaf blower
And the list goes on.........

The thing that REALLY gets me, is that after they spend all the money
for all this energy consuming stuff, many of them spend MORE money to
join a exercise club membership, so they can burn up all their own
excessive energy. Those that dont do the exercise simply turn into
fat, artery clogged blobs while playing the latest computer games on
the most powerful energy consuming computers they can get their hands
on, along with their ipods and cellphones and other energy consuming
devices that they cant live without.

Enjoy your rake and the exercise you get using it. You'll be much
more healthy than those destroying their hearing, and filling their
lungs with exhaust fumes with their leaf blowers.

PS. Can you imagine the chaos these "computer raised kids" would
experience if the power was shut off. I'd bet most of them would be
dead in a week.


So basically, you're just jealous that you're too dumb
to use a computer, and too poor to afford power tools, eh? ;-)
