If you're getting 52 cents an acre for growing cotton, and I'm chipping in for 20 cents, and you still can't make any money growing cotton, maybe you should join the rest of us and get a Mcjob.

"maybe you should join the rest of us and get a Mcjob."

That is truly, one of the most snide, cynical comments I've seen since I joined FreeRepublic!

In the last half of the last century, we've gone from "making a living" from the land, to "earning a living" by servicing each other. We used to take our heifer down the road to get "serviced" every so often.

Is that the kind of Mc Servicing you're talking about, because that's what rural western America is getting from your flip Liberaltarian attitude that compliments the GANG-GREEN attitude!!!

If the farmer was getting paid for everything they provided you then you'd probably be paying substantially more.
