Oh I ain't sayin its the pure rainbow of goodness don't get me wrong. BUT I am saying that it is a MORE viable alternative than what we have now.

Land getting sold? Yep around Texas cities are growing outward because old unused farm land is cheaper to buy and put a NEW mall on that to rent a place in the OLD mall. IE it is turning alot of older city areas into slums as they are abandoned. This whole time the amount of plantable acerage is dropping.

Cattle? El same same. Alot of ranchers I know dropped out of the cow buisness ten years back when the price paid to RANCHERS dropped to almost nothing. Feed has cost almost more than a cow is worth for over 15 years. Most of those ranchers went to raising hay or selling hunting leases over planted oats because it was better money. Now? Who knows.

You are right on MT. The American consumer has been getting rooked for decades. The gas companies are STILL recording record profits. You think the war or an oil shortage has a damned thing to do with it? You are wrong. It is about profit PURE and SIMPLE.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
