How to care for trampled grass? Now that we are approaching the summer, I am taking care of the grass. However the kids always play soccer on the grass and always have the goalposts in the one place. This results in the area around the goalposts being trampled - e.g there is brown patches of mud where the grass cover has been removed How can this be treated? It is not only in the goalpost area, it is just more concentrated there, so I don't think moving the goalposts would fix the idea.

Why Do People Think "Free Health Care" Is A "Grass Roots Movement"? Well known lobbyist companies are being used for the "movement". Right now the "movement" is mainly a state by state "movement". A free health care program would cost trillions of dollars per year. There are hundreds of billions of dollars to made off the government if free health care was given to everyone in the U.S.. To me, the "movement" looks like it has nothing to do with caring about people. A very large percentage of people without health care insurance are undocumented workers (and their kids), and foreigners with work permits. Health insurance in America is affordable in many states. In many states, good private healthcare insurance only costs around $100 a month. The problem is old insurance laws block the insurance from being sold from state to state. That stifles competition. Consumers should be allowed to purchase insurance directly from HMO's with no middlemen involved.
