Get real. I don't have the numbers off the top of my head, but this country was hugely agricultual, at least where I hail from and people were actually friends with their neighbors. Maybe it was different in the cities that suffered the greatest immigration, but there's not much of a choice about that in todays world, is there? ... the farmers are gone and Tyson imports its labor from Mexico, from whom we import most of our food these days (remember the rotten strawberries that made half of Detroit's kids sick). But then, of course, you can't grow strawberries in Detroit anymore, can you?

... the farmers are gone

My neighbors, all Michigan farmers, would be interested to find that out. One is an apple farmer. One is a dairy farmer. Another farms beans, wheat or whatever is most profitable that year.

And the Buchanan people claim WE ignore the truth.
