Then how can we all be employed? Yet we are and we work in neither factories nor farms. And neither does most of America. And all Americans are far wealthier than their counterparts 60 or 100 years ago. Heck, one of our biggest problems is that we're too fat! Have you read Grapes of Wrath? I bet the Joads would rather live today than then. Have you been to kid's football game? They've all got new equipment and on-field A/C in some cases! WTF? If this wealth is the result of a race to the bottom, and you're further suggesting we're racing there again ... sign me up! I need new downpipes! And I didn't say agriculture was non-productive, I just said we all don't need to farm to have a plentiful food supply. And, heck, most people CHOOSE to buy more expensive food. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:207357 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
