Hello Kestrel I Agree that the family farmers are in trouble, I disagree that there are too many people in this world for the old small scale businesses. If you listen to the rest of the series he'll give his solution, I've just got to his 6th part in the seven part series, and have learned alot and, halleluyah, there is a solution! (There will be an ultimate FINAL solution in the future. If you know what I mean ;-D ) But in the mean time this is a solution that we as INDIVIDUALS can use. We can't rely on federal handouts and price supports, because well......... You already know how that ends up. The main problem as you heard from Gordon is BIG Corpoations that (no hard feelings to the previous poster who used the term) only care about their bottom line. As for tearing up all the highways and return to cobblestones, gaslights, and warm beer, well, I don't think we'd have to get THAT dramatic, (although I don't have a taste for that stuff,warm OR cold). I know how easy it is to get bummed out about the current situation and it will get worse before it gets better. Persevere, listen to at least one more part in the series, and think alot. I'm also e-mailing this to you in case you don't read this on the forum. P.S. consider the amish farms (I've never seen an amish farmer on welfare) If you haven't seen there operation's you should go and see one, (I know, I know, They have very large families, but that's how the farm and family were intended to be.) I await your response
