In restoring this cabin, we're trying to preserve a part of Marshall County history.

Last year, we did hand hewing of the logs with our Fall Fest, this year as we raise it, and depending on where we're at next year, we might have another component for the cabin again next year.

History ... is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake.

You have the entire history of the big phone companies trying to avoid orders by regulatory commissions to open their networks to competition. You have the entire history of [AT&T's] efforts to avoid court orders and FCC [Federal Communications Commission] orders. You have a whole historical thing with the telecommunications industry [of] exclusive dealing, anticompetitive dealing -- anything they can dream up to screw their competitors.

They're not trying to undo history but trying to say that these things are rather adornments and inconveniences which proclaim a different sort of country from the one of the turn of the century which we think this country should be,

It all pointed to history ... either repeating itself, or trying to learn from history.
