I am correct in believing that most if not all of the american, mexican, and european revolutions took root among the farmers/peasants? If feels to me that there is a hidden agenda to do away with the small family farm as a way to remove a potent source of revolt. Is anyone else alarmed by this coincidence? "Food Security" has our government securing food resources in 3rd world countries for a society that no longer can feed itself cause we are too busy plowing over what little airable land that is left. Our culture has devalued farmers to it's own disadvantage, no longer do we possess this powerful and righteous group of citizens to raise arms against a tyranical government. Is the local food movement an unconscious push back? Any thoughts, comments?
