Are you saying that the family farm produces food less well than the corperations?


No not at all. I'm saying corporations will have the deeper pockets than a family farm, allowing them to hold and store grain, waiting for high market prices to sell. This will farther drive up grain and food prices.

Agree on marginal land, although there isn't much of that around here where I live.


So all those farms on marginal land will stop and the ones where you live will then thrive. ALthough they may well have to accept lower yeilds per acre and use less intensive, less costly production techniques. Maybe different crops.

The corperations need to make a profitthe same as the family farm.

This thing about futures trading and holding onto produce waiting for a hgher price. Once you actually have the stuff harvested and inspectable there must be a way to finance it.

I don't care who grows the stuff. I care that we should not be driving the price up.

If the price is below production costs then the marginal land will stop being farmed. OK. If we stop driving the price up the only land being farmed will be the most economic to do so given the then even lower price than now. Good thing. Unless you are a farmer.


Tim, there is nothing new about industrial farming. The strongest reason we had slavery in the US for so long was cotton. This was an industrial farming technique.

I should note that the worst enemy of the corporate farm was industrialization which would have made it FAR cheaper to use machines for pick and process cotton than using slaves. So the slave trade was on it's way out. Only 1% of people in the south owned slaves and only 20% of those slave holders had more than one slave. Emancipation proclamation or no all slaves would have been free in another decade or so. Question - what do you suppose blacks would feel like if they were thrown out on the street because of automation?

I agree. However, minority white rich people would (& still do) wish their workers (of whatever color) to work at sub-survival rates, while the rich are NOT described as millionaires any longer, but as billionaires.

I suggest that you do not respond to Chief Dumbass. He probably has so little native American in him that he is not considered to be native American but in his insanity he will believe anything he wants to believe.

The sign of a psycho is multiple postings to himself not to mention that idiotic prologue. Don't even waste your time reading anything he has to say.

My personal view is that the slave system was the thing holding back the automation of cotton farming.

If a new machine came along which rendered your primary asset of zero value your mortgage is suddenly more than your worth. How much opposition do you think all the cotton growers had tp that?

That the mechanisiation of cotton picking happend in a decade shows that it was being repressed somehow.

Slavery is s system which is very difficult to change swiftly. The use of freemen as the labour force means that they themselves are always keen to learn new skills and embrace change far more than any other system.

Fair point but you do need an element of progressive taxation or wealth redistribution.

The natural tendancy for the rich and powerful to get more so has to be countered or we will end up in an aristocracy with the rest of us as serfs.

You most assuredly do not. Unionization and employers looking out for their own good is all it takes and government is the enemy of both.

Henry Ford changed the entire world by paying his workers a wage so that they TOO could afford to buy their own cars. Can you explain why the government should order this?

The government is the enemy of the people. It absorbs huge amounts of gross national product and produces almost nothing. We need it to provide public education and military protection and almost nothing else.

I think we will have to disagree on that.

I think I have said before on this forum that I am a liberal, possibly even something of a social democrat. Odd to find myself describing myself as that given that in the 1980's I was a Thacherite (right wing of UK politics) and whilst I have not changed my views at all I find myself on the left of British politics.

And to the distinct left of most of the people of Great Britain who intend to Brexit. If you doubt the power of that group watch what happens if the Parliament refuses to act on that vote more rapidly than they have been doing.

Inasmuch as the farmers of Great Britain are not being subsidized to any extent why would you be arguing that there is any food being taken off of the market by a government?

More of us, including us, should really study what made the US a great nation. It was in fact the people, with limited gov that has made us great. It was a great experiment, never tried before, that went so perfectly well. Why we ever decided to go the opposite direction is way beyond stupid.

Wealth redistribution makes me puke. It is penalizing success. Period. And then people like Litehead bitch about rich people, when wealthy in fact are paying the bills.

Wealth redistribution in pure form would look like this...

WalMart......poor person in front of you in line purchases a $100 item.
He slides his card with his tax bracket code embedded in his debit card.
His total with sales tax comes to $101 and he's out the door.

You purchase the exact same item.
Your tax bracket is embedded in your card.
Your total comes to $155, and you're out the door wondering why you bust your ass like you do.

If I were president of this great nation, my first item of business would be an executive order making it illegal for employers to withhold taxes from paychecks. At tax time everyone would be responsible for writing that check to the IRS. I think a lot of people would wake up to the insane shit show we call government.

What does all this have to do with climate change and global cooling? I have no idea.

Yes, i thnik we have wandered off topic a bit but what the hell...

I have only respect for those who have made their money themselves. Good luck to them and you.

The issue for me is one of inherited wealth. If the situation is that your son needs to go to university but the fees are that he must pay $200,000 up front he cannot.

Today that is sort of overcome.

However today your son will need to work and earn money when he leaves. The rich man's son will do 5 years of internship and when your son and his compete fro the best jobs which lead to the actual power and leadership of society your son will find the door closed.

Tax has to be raised from somebody. Taxing the dead seems the best over taxing work.

What gives me pause is that I come from a family of small farmers. All of most of them had their land stolen out from under them by the government to be used to build more housing so that the government could collect more taxes.

City regulations stopped us from having a food garden and keeping chickens.

Now we hear from Tim that more government is better because they protect us from the occasional rich man who competition can put out of business. But of course nothing can put the government out of business.

I don't normally get involved in the political discussions, but I would like to point out that the US is one of the very few countries in which the state is actually permitted to kill its own citizens in the form of capital punishment as well as locking more of them in prison per capita than any other country. The "land of the free" rhetoric does ring a bit hollow sometimes.

China kills more prisoners than we do.

As far as incarceration rates are concerned, a simple number tells almost nothing. It doesn't say WHY the U.S. locks up so many people (as opposed to just killing them.

If you're going to get involved in political discussions, you'll find that quoting statistics from various governments (many of which lie, many of which report a statistic by itself without showing why the statistic occurred).

There are two basic reasons we incarcerate more than other nations:

1) We have a drug problem.
2) We are losing the 'drug war'.
3) We have many juveniles locked (and included in the statistics) due to gangs, drugs, and poverty in the inner cities. They usually get out in less than a year to re-offend again.

ALL failures of the Democrats.

You obviously don't get involved because you have no idea what you're talking about. 38% of all murders are committed by black gang members. Usually over drug turf. My brother's answer to it is to give every addict the best dope he can find anywhere for free. Let him have clean needles and all the drugs he could want. And the problem will take care of itself. Given free access to drugs the vaste majority of addicts will overdose within a month.

Another 42% of murders are committed by Hispanic drug gangs and almost all of them are illegal aliens.

So without the drug gangs - black and Hispanic - the USA would be the third safest and lowest crime country in the world.

But we're all sure that you're more than willing to argue with that because you don't normally get involved in political discussions.

I have heard of people "getting clean" but I've never seen it. Not only am I living on the edge of Oakland but my brother died from drugs - not from the drugs immediately but from the damage to his heart. He died at something like 45. I played in several bands as bass player and backup singer and every single one of all of those bands died at the latest in their 50's. And every one of them said the same thing, "I can handle it."

You're quite right Tim, the problem is that it doesn't work and never has. And never will. When you hand power over your own life to someone else they cannot help themselves but to grow to think that they know better than you.


We have publicly funded roads. Privaye ones don't work.

We have publicly funded parks. I like that.

We have publicly funded education. I like that.

We have publicly funded police and courts and jails. I like that.

We have publicly funded incaceration of dangerous nutters and the lick. Do you want the mad wandering about randomly killing people?

We have publicly funded care for the mad in gemneral (not good enough but..) I like that.

We have publicly regulated water supplies and ensurace of qulaity. I like that.

We have publicly funded regulation of polution. I don't want the chemical plant to spew toxic crap into the river. Oversight of this might need a tweak.

I do want some additional state. I want a law that says it is considered the same as being on oath when you claim something or present something as science.

That is you can go to jail for lying and calling it science.

Tim,
As conservatives, we do support gov to create and provide a few things.
1. Infrastructure
2. Public safety and national defense.
3. Education

Can't agree on that one. Once you squelch the right to say something, you head down a path of tyranny. I would even defend the rights of Lifebeer to speak whatever brain fart comes out today. However, I could support it if the scientist was gov funded, even if that funding was at only at 1%.

But, you may not be the lib you think you are.

We do not have the unrestircted right for free speach as is. The law of libel stops us saying something about somebody else unless we can back it up.

The freedom of speach would not be restricted but when you call it science you would be in a similar position to being on oath. That's all. Just not allowed to say a falsehood and know it was false. I would even have an exception of playing devil's advocate, better tell the ethics committe before hand though.

I live in California. In the last five years they have raised several taxes three times and have just now raised gas taxes, already the highest in the nation, another $0.12/gal and doubled license and registration fees to fix the roads. They have never ONCE "fixed the roads" to the point where you can't even ride a bicycle down many of the since they are filled with potholes. Instead they have used the extra funds for city services for illegal aliens.

They have been shutting down parks and their services such as mobile home campers etc. People have been staying as long as possible in these parks and then shifting to other parks because there is no affordable housing. Americans are put far, far behind illegal aliens in California and many cities have councils that voted to become "sanctuary cities". This is illegal and these councilmembers should be arrested and put in jail. But as I said, Americans come last.

Our police are ordered to do as little as possible. They do not ticket the most blatant traffic violations except running red lights and since the cops are not on the street they don't even catch most of those.

Are you unaware that we have had people being killed on the freeways for the fun of it? Not intergang warfare but innocent people just driving down the roads. The cops often label this as "road rage" but it's funny that no one did that until the illegal aliens in this state hit the 10 million level. In short since illegals are a protected species they do what they want without fear. They haven't even solved the last 15 freeway shootings despite having camera footage of them.

Here they do not have hospitals specifically for crazy people. They do not even fund the Veterans hospitals - these are all Federally funded. We have 6 billion dollars presently in financial shortfall and have another 550 billion in unfunded liabilities including putting illegal aliens through college. Citizens have to pay their own way.


We had two dams fail this last winter and the water supplies have never been properly controlled despite the fact that we get droughts every six to ten years.

The largest pollution cases in the last eight years were CAUSED by the EPA.

That isn't the way science works. Virtually all science is presenting theories and theories are just that - wild ass guesses. So if most of these were spoken out loud they would be false science. But without having a theory to test you cannot prove it false which in itself is a positive finding.

Government is the most dangerous thing on this planet. Increasing it's power is wish slavery upon yourself.

What do you believe "the laws of libel" to be? You CANNOT be put in jail for libeling anyone and that includes the President.

Science is advanced by being wrong as much as by being right.

You can be bakrupted.

I have no trouble with scientists being wrong. Very occaisionally a scientist lies. More often a manager of a science body lies. Very often a news organisiation lies as to what the scientist has said.

i do not consider the requirement to be honest an imposition on the branch of human activity that relies on honesty more than anything else.

You are in effect trying to legislate integrity.

Exactly. You most assuredly cannot legislate Freedom of the Press out of existence. And that's where the real problem lies. The media is more than willing to lie to support ANY liberal cause.

How many people here support AGW? Four. And not one of them is a scientist. And every one of them will lie or misrepresent any piece of science to support their religion of AGW.

"old sick silly sleepy sleezy slimy steenkin' filthy vile reprobate rooting (& rotting) racist pukey proud pig AGW denier liar whiner wake-me-up" woofed: And not one of them is a scientist.

AGW advocates told you your exponents were not correct & you tried to bulldoze people, because you were embarrassed that your bent mathematics were caught. It is AGW denier liar whiners who are the least numbered scientists & mathematicians. It is so lonely, "wake-me-up" makes up data.
