[AT] History Exam, now kid memories

[pga2 at hot1.net]

Amen, Farmer. I wonder what will happen if some of these "Global Warming"
predictions of gloom and doom come to pass. According to some, we won't even
be able to grow our own food bcause of climate change. Sure hope that never
happens!

    I'm not off base Charlie...  :-)   I just have a different set of goals 
for our future society than most folks. <SNIP>
It is pretty scary how concentrated in the hands of a few our current 
food supply is. I sure would like to see a zillion little producers growing 
our food instead of these big companies.
    If you have a wire wheel you can knock out quite a few spokes and keep 
going. If you build a wheel with 3 big spokes you only have to lose one to 
bring collapse.   :-)
