Chip I have a question regarding this statement! As I would like to explore this point if you will.

"One clear example of these imbalances in this country has been the discarding of the nations small farming families. Their life sytles and heritage has been thrown-out by powerful forces of agri-business that benefit the most from electronic technology. (I've just been reading about the problems in Minnesota brought on by the reversal of crop subsidises). The system is discarding them as irrelevant "

What is wrong or with this happening? Or how is it different then WalMart knocking out all the local store owners or Coke taking out all the small independent brands.

Regarding the reversal of crop subsidises. Is this not a wise decision? Many of these programs were put into place for national security reasons. An example would be the 50 cent per pound subsidisdy on honey production put in place to stimulate the production of bees wax for use in making ammo for the war effort. Is this important today? Why should farmers these support payments, and not other industries?
