And so it begins: the first wave of abandonment of modernity, as architected by the Greens, socialists and the Democrats.

Obama is smiling. Somewhere, Karl Marx is smiling.

Has anyone noticed that this story is BS?

I just hope the corn he’s growing is going to ethanol plant for an even more ironic effect.

This is a COS... show only, back to nature crap and all that stuff. If you can’t afford fuel you can’t afford the time.

We’ll flat starve to death if we have to go back to draft animals for farming.

Horses are the better alternative. A segment of the farm
community have been using horsepower for years.

Fabricated BS. This is pure show. Oxen require far more feed and care than a tractor and their feed and care is 365 not just when you fire them up.

Now no more than gardeners!!!

Go back to the 1992 UN Earth Summit in Rio where Maurice Strong gave the Keynote Address and stated that it was their responsibility to bring about the collapse of industrialized civilization because of our unsustainable consumption of the earths resources.

At that Conference, the UN introduced the tools to accomplish this goal: Convention on Biological Diversity/Agenda 21/Rio Declaration, signed by H.W.Bush - implemented by Ex. Order of Clinton.

DOT Sec. Ray LaHood announced recently that the DOT will no longer promote motorized transportation as a priority of the DOT.

The shutting in of our natural resources including placing abundant fishery resources off limits are all part of the plan Maurice Strong and his UN cohorts un-veiled back in 1992 and has become the policy of the US govt. since, despite never being debated, discussed or approved by Congress.

There is indeed an axis of evil, one consisting of radical Islam, Marxism, and militant environmentalism. They scored a victory in this case.

And people laugh at me when I say the enviro-wackos want us to live in caves.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

Trust me, I live right smack dab in the middle of big corn country and I have never seen a team of oxen and do not exect to.

Now, the farmer drive HUGE tractors with GPS devices and they plant 24 rows of corn at a single swipe across the field. This is high tech stuff and an 80 acre farm is quite rare.

[Revolting cat!]

Human slaves would be even cheaper and more efficient.
