<title>An Offensive Sight. (Trees And Things)</title>

<description>A little over two decades ago Rose Harn's normal life ended. &#160;That's when a drunken teenager plowed into her car causing debilitating and irreversible injury to the 58-year-old mother of three from Nampa, Idaho. &#160;Since that time, her husband Michael has transported his bed-bound wife to events where &lt;a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.madd.org/">Mothers Against Drunk Driving&lt;/a> (MADD) set up booths. &#160;Their trips came to a halt in August when the pair was asked to leave the fair they had appea</description>
