Quotation: Since we are now in the heart of Texas, most of you know that some million years ago a number of large, wooly animals walked the plains of Texas as monarchs of all they surveyed. These animals, these so-called wooly boogers, were dinosaurs.…They had an extremely small brain.…If you don’t keep developing your brain, as well as your arms, you may wind up in the same position those ancient wooly boogers did.…Quit howling about a slave labor law and…settle down and go to work and try to develop your organizing and negotiating techniques in accordance with the new law.
