The cost of (in modern sense) automation of agriculture isn't equal to the cost of manual labor of nearly 100% of population that was required before it was automated. The Nature isn't fare, there is no law that says that a project provides benefit close to its cost. You don't need groups of farmers all over the Earth to teach every grain harvester combine for 30 years about harvesting. -- Vladimir Nesov [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://causalityrelay.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=114414975-3c8e69 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
