Redistribution of land.....will this become Obama's next step?

I guess that would be “Zimbabwe, phase 2.” Once the currency is destroyed, and city folk can’t buy food, they will be given land to grow their own. I seem to remember that Rhodesia was the largest food-exporter in Africa before “land reform” took the productive land from white landowners to give it to people who had no clue how to raise anything. Now they can’t even feed themselves....

"land is not yours. The land is not private. It is the property of the state," Chávez said"

Herein lies the Achilles heel of Socialism. People don't work for long to improve something owned by someone else.

Redistribution of land or redistribution of wealth, same result.

It's an interesting world. There seems to be a resurgence of the dickcissel population. This is a sparrow sized bird, looks sort of like a meadowlark. It sits on rural power lines or fence posts and sings a song which to some people sounds like its name. It seems to nest in grassy areas along roadsides or in meadows. It also seems to be quite spread out, not living near neighbors.

Wintering, however, is different. They gather in large flocks in Venezuela. Sometime in the late 20th century large agriculture projects plowed up much of wintering territory of this bird. The flocks of millions ate the crops. The farmers sprayed the crops & a good percentage of the dickcissels died. I think there were some efforts by bird preservation people to compensate the farmers for their losses, but I do not know how successful they were. Maybe the Zimbabweization of Venezuela has been favorable for the survivability of these birds.
