^ You'll be forced to dictatorial measures to get the peasants to do what you want once you overthrow the capitalists.
Because this is what always happens.

I wonder how much longer we will have that overabundance. I've read articles in farming/ranching type magazines about how the soil in our midwest is, pretty much, worn out. After a century and a half of being farmed within an inch of it's life, the soils been depleted. That's why they have to put so many things into the soil, to keep up the yield, to the point that there is enough food to feed this country. I grew up in ranch country. It always amazes me just how much of a disconnect there is amongst city people, and their understanding of what it takes to grow/raise the things they buy in grocery stores and restaurants. I think some...heck maybe most...of them think that stuff appears because of food fairies. |

I can foresee a food crisis popping up at some point too. Aside from soil depletion, in some places people are draining the deep aquifers dry to water crops, like Brian says. When the day comes that no more water can be pumped, then no more crops. A lot of corn production here is not for food anymore either, but to produce ethanol for fuel. Water that could be used as a reserve to grow food in time of crisis is being used up to power gas guzzling SUVs. if the agri-market system we have now breaks down on a large scale, rural folk will be able to get by with big gardens (we had big gardens when I was a kid, and that provided a lot of food, and my mother canned) but it will get ugly in the cities. We just keep packing more and more people into these huge cities without thinking what will happen if there is some sort of disaster that breaks the food distribution system down. A big sudden climate shift and we're going to have mass starvation.

The worst part of the whole ethanol boondoggle is that we could make it far cheaper and easier using Brazilian sugar, thereby helping both countries. But the Congressmen from the Midwest have created a windfall for the gigantic agbusiness farmers and it is proving very difficult to cut off their corporate welfare for the good of the country. Sort of like providing subsidies for coal mines. |

I think everyone agrees that climate change is happening.. What is in dispute is the causes. Some say the changes are the natural cycle of the planet whilst others believe the changes are man-induced. |

It is my understanding that we ought to be in a cooling cycle and that the changes we are seeing at the poles are very troubling. We tend to forget that our entire civilization rests on agriculture. It is believed that our ancestors didn't invent it earlier because the weather patterns weren't predictable enough for agriculture until 10,000 years ago. I have believed for decades that we are in deep doodoo. Al Gore almost convinced me for a bit that we could turn things around. Disclaimer: Friends and family know that I am a pessimist and given to periodic bouts of deep depression. |
