That's interesting. I didn't know anybody who owned forty acres of land when I was growing up in the sixties. Now I know all sorts of people who own large acreages.

I don't know what to make of that, it is obvious that with no increase in land area and a huge increase in population and more land being taken by the Federal GOOBERment the percentage of people owning large tracts cannot possibly be increasing. There is more than one way to calculate wealth, if I look at things in a statistical way as the government does everything looks rosy, on the other hand if I make other comparisons things don't look rosy at all.

And as those in rural areas are being forced into the pismire existance of the urban-apartment rabbit warrens.

Good for a few, sad for many.
