more people are dying from Aids because their diets are so poor

Clive, how many years have you been posting stories about the sad decline of Zimbabwe? I'm glad you're keeping us posted about this -- America could look like this some day if the worst leaders get into power.

Zimbabwe has no choice but to turn back to large-scale commercial agriculture to address these issues. To do so it will have to make hard decisions about tenure and security for farmers, because without security, there can be no recovery.

It comes back to the old point, Clive. When the government confiscates land at will and keeps the land titles, banks won't lend money to farmers to plant and properly run farms. It's one of those capitalistic facts that communists hate. Why should banks loan money to plow, seed, and harvest crops with no security on their investor's money?

Their problem began when medicine men were replaced with political agitators

I wish these people would quit their bellyaching.

The hated white Rhodesian is long gone. It is now paradise.

Anything else that's happened is unimportant and inconsequencial.

Rhodesians... er Zimbabweans have never been better off!!
