someone on the next patch. The Government, which no doubt used this "land
reform” ploy to counter the landless peasant movement, brought in fertilizer.

the usable land is owned by 3% of the people – actually 1.6% own almost half the land. These “owners” are not
corporations – unless they incorporated themselves. Over the last
decade or so, government policy gave hefty tax breaks to corporations who tore
down the rain forest and burned the trees including much valuable hardwood
(estimate $250,000,000). The cleared areas
then became “cattle ranches” and Xerox and VW no doubt became
gentlemen farmers. However, don’t blame them – blame your friendly neighborhood
government. >> >> Instead you make silly little quips

It’s good for you. >Chris >_______________________________________________ >Futurework mailing list >http://fes.uwaterloo.ca/mailman/listinfo/futurework |
