Agripower

JB
Smart people are getting into farming, not least because they're afraid of an oncoming apocalypse, fiscal and otherwise. Or, in my case, because I like to shoot and ride.


Here's what the canny New York Observer has to say:


There is, of course, a slightly more sinister reason to develop a sudden interest in agriculture. Last year, Marc Faber recommended to anyone: "Stock up on a farm in northern Norway and learn to drive a tractor." He sees a "dirty war" on the horizon, playing on fears of a biological attack poisoning food supplies. Those sort of fears drive capital into everything from gold (recently at an all-time high and a long-time safe haven for investors with currency concerns) to survivalist accoutrements. In this particular case, one might buy the farm in order to avoid buying the farm.

Needless to say, Team LSP is sizing up the prospect.


Remember, they're not making any more land.

This on the heels of our Moron-N-Chief giving 20 metric tons of wheat to a country that would see us all dead... While we're at it, lets turn some more corn into fuel at a cost of $1.25 for every $1.00 worth of fuel... I think their ultimate goal is to lower our carbon footprint by starving off the population...

I have one word for you - Argentina.

BAA, you have a point; the MNC gang isn't scoring too high in the 'culture of life' game right now.

Adrienne - very good advice!

I'd love to hear your comments on Desmond Tutu's latest publication - God is not a Christian!

Alright there, Julie.

Let's hear it for Desmond...
