I think you are mixing capitalist growth business with farming? And what does a punative tax system have to do with keeping food at reasonable prices? Farming is not unique in its booms in busts (reflecting good weather and bad, in farming) but it is unique in our dependance on it for survival. And, no, we don't need oil to survive. We don't even need it to farm, it's just a whole lot more work without it. give up our food supply? It is very strange to talk to conservatives who don't honor "the backbone of America, the family farmer". Strange turn of events.

And I really just wanted to respond to Max after the other posts he got. I didn't care to get involved here. I don't like it here. It has nothing to do with an honest living in the land to me. It is all about things far removed from that. Don't like it all. But thank you for some interesting posts. It's not that I don't think there have been some really silly management of farming, both by farmers, and by govt., in the past.
