The above Photo shows one of many Rock Quarries at Hacket, Arkansas. Hacket is Located about 20 miles South of Fort Smith, on the Western Border with Oklahoma, which Hackett is found in the Middle of Northwest Arkansas. The Price of their Rocks have gone UP by 4 times since we got our Rocks from them. Therefore, it is Unreasonable for any Common Person to Buy such Rocks. However, “We, the People,” could Nationalize all of the Mountains of Rocks for everyone’s Benefit, and thus get them for FREE –– that is, without Paying some Highway Robber Extortionist Prices for a ROCK. Indeed, rather than Waste Multiple BILLIONS of Dollars making Army Tanks, Jet Bombers, Submarines, Aircraft Carriers, and Military TRASH; we could make Profitable $wangkee Rock Cutting Machines, and whatever Useful Tools that we Need in Order to Build all Kinds of Beautiful Planned City States, WORLDWIDE, for whomever is not too Lazy nor too Crazy to Help us. Indeed, they can Join one of Seven Kinds of $wangkee Armies of WORKING Soldiers. And that, my Friend, would bring the Cost of those Rocks DOWN to almost nothing: because one Machine can do the Work of a THOUSAND Strong Men. Therefore, WHO is going to Vote for ME to Govern this Insane World of Moronic Idiots, who should Understand that we could ALL be Moderately Rich, and then there would not be any Desire for any Person to Want to go to War? See: The INSANITY of WAR!

This Photo shows more of the previous Rock Quarry. These Rocks break out in Pieces, which are Flat on 2 Sides in Various Thicknesses. They can also be Cut and Shaped to almost anyone’s Needs.

This Photo shows another Rock Quarry at Hacket. You can find these Quarries by heading South on Highway 71 from Fort Smith toward Mena, Arkansas. Turn Right (West) on Highway 10, which will take you into Hacket, where you can Inquire for more Directions. It is a One-Horse Town on the Border of Arkansas and Oklahoma. The Quarries are actually found in Oklahoma, and they follow a Rock Ridge that is about 20 miles long and a mile wide and perhaps 2 miles deep. And this is just ONE of HUNDREDS of Mountains of Rocks in the Ozarks.

This Photo shows another View of the same Quarry at Hacket. These Rocks come in LAYERS, which break out Clean: because they are Separated by thin Layers of Clay. Therefore, it Appears to be a very Dirty Mess; but, it is one of the nicer Quarries to Work in: because of those Layers. Likewise, in Kentucky, there are entire Mountains of Limestone, which also come in Layers. You can see such Layers by Driving from Lexington to Stanford or Danville. Just look along the Sides of the Highway, where Engineers cut out the Rocks in order to put in the Highway. Indeed, you can especially See what I Mean by Observing those Hills that are Bisected by the Kentucky River, near Wilton. Therefore, Drive SLOWLY when you are approaching that River, and notice that there are Various Thicknesses of Layers of Limestone. Do not be Afraid to TURN AROUND and take a Second Look, if you did not get a GOOD Look. Indeed, you could stop the Car and Inspect them Carefully with a Sledge Hammer,  and just Imagine how many similar Rocks are Buried under the Topsoil in Poverty-Stricken Kentucky. For Example, those Layers reach about 26 miles from the Kentucky River in both directions. Therefore, would you not Think that there might be at least ONE Limestone House somewhere in Kentucky? That is, at least ONE $wangkee Stone Domehome, which is made from 100% Limestone, except for the Marble-faced Walls and Polished Granite Floors.  

This Photo shows one of the many Loads of Scrapped Polished Granite Rocks that we hauled Home with our Pickup and Trailer. Notice that this is a LOT of Granite for only $150, which we Transformed into a million dollar’s worth of Valuable Property ––  such as my Italian Marble-faced Granite Closet. See Photo Gallery 2 –– The Swangkee Brothers’ 98% Rock Houses. Indeed, some of the Slabs of Granite were as much as 6 feet long and 2 feet wide (but not on this Trailerload). There are about 5 Tons of Granite on this Trailer, or about 10,000 pounds, which we Unloaded within one Hour with ease: because we are used to Working. In Fact, after lifting up Rocks that Weighed as much as 700 Pounds, these Rocks were like Playing with Toys. We also Loaded them onto the Trailer during the same Day. However, if you are a Chicken, who is Afraid of such Work, you can always do some Scratching around in the Garden with a Hoe, while someone else does this Kind of Work. See A List of $wangkee Wages for more Details about $wangkee Armies of Working Soldiers and their Good Wages.  

This Photo shows some of the Squarish Rocks that came from Hacket. The Rock Wall at the Bottom is 3 feet thick, which tapers up to one foot or less at the Top. It took Vern and I alone only 2 Weeks in order to set the Hacket Rocks in Place with $wangkee Mortar: because we simply drove up with the Trailer full of Rocks, and unloaded them onto the Ramp, and then we lifted them into Place. Just Compare that Plan with what was done with the Bottom Part of this same Wall. Indeed, it Required 11 of us more than 2 Months just to make it 4 feet tall: because those Rocks were not of the same THICKNESS. In Fact, we often had to Try to fit a Rock in Place as many as 7 Times, before we got it to Fit Properly. You see, each Crack –– which is formed at the Ends of 2 Joining Rocks –– must be LAPPED with a Rock on Top, like the following Drawing shows (which the Computer was Unable to Translate Properly –– the Horizontal Space between the Rocks is far too Wide).

This Photo shows a Perfect Example of how DIFFICULT it is to make Rough Rocks into a Neat Construction of any Kind. This Rock Oven is the FIRST Swangkee Rock Project on our Property. The Colorful Rocks were free for getting them; but, it still Cost us $400 for the Metal, in order to make Shelves on the Inside. Such an Oven Requires a LOT of Wood in order to get it HOT. However, once it is Hot, it only Requires a small Fire in order to keep it Hot. This Oven also has a Bench around it, so that you can sit down and Warm yourself while the Bread and Butternut Squashes are Baking for as many as 100 People. Otherwise, it will just sit and wait to be used: because it is Impractical to Fire it up for just one or 2 People. It was a Pleasant Job during the Heat of the Summer in the Shade of the big Trees.
