there should be a law.....

outlawing machetes. Couldn't you classify this tool as a deadly weapon? It seems that just about everyone in my neighborhood has one of the nasty, sharp things. No one uses saws, hedge clippers around here......everyone uses machetes for yard work.
Recently, some idiot used one on his dog in the next town over. Fortunately, the dog survived and was featured on the news the other night.

These huge knives makes my skin crawl! Imagine getting into a rift with your neighbor and he starts chasing you with his tree trimming "tool"!

I feel like I'm living in Rowanda.

My area seems to be a mecca for people from the "islands". I guess their tool of choice is the machete. Yup, it is very freaky! LOL

At the rate everything grows around here I've considered a machete. They do seem a bit dangerous though!
