wow, what a rant. Tell us how you REALLY feel. LOL
Actually, comrade Trucker40, Thurlow is right. Your socialist methods ("do as I say or we'll punish you if you buy too big of a tractor"???LOL) have been tried and failed. Think about it. When the country was 90% agrarian, the efficiency of the American farmer was LOW compared to what he can produce today. Large tractors, combines, better yielding seed, fertilizer are all products of AGRI-BUSINESS. Nothing evil about that. Just means that, as a nation, we can feed ourselves using less labor. Means those ex-farmers can go to work producing something else. That has contributed to a rise in our standard of living over the years (compared to our parents/grand-parents).
Same is true of industry. Mass-producing cars (and tractors) made them affordable to the average American. This contributed to a huge economic expansion in the last century.
The computer industry has created efficiencies all across our economy and allowed our economy to expand over the last 40 years. Problem: Where do we go from here to get that next leap in tecnological innovation that will provide even more efficiency (and consequential growth)? Computerization and miniaturization continues to provide benefits but Ipods and picture-phones are not going to be equivalent to Henry Ford's tractor. LOL.
If someone were to ask, I'd put my money on a switch from a petroleum based energy industry over the next 20-50 yrs.
As for Michael Moore, he knows what sells. The truth matters little to him.
