1. I came to the same conclusion as Davo, FWIW.

I was pointing towards the fact that you come from a "heavily subsidized corn country " and the farmers are kept afloat buy the right side of our government.


2. Farm subsidies exist because of a strong lobbying group? Hardly.

Your views and comments typically reflect that you don't travel much, so I asked you to see for sure. Now I KNOW that for sure and don't have to ASSume anything You come off very ecocentric, and the fact you have never left America to have ANYTHING else to compare it to says more than you know.


3. International travel alone does not make one worldly.



1. Not what I typed though, is it?
2. Would you say that the corn industry would survive without the subsidies? The main crap that you get from corn is the high fructose corn syrup (In pretty much every soda or any other junk food main ingrediant) and it's one of the main reasons America is so fat. It's been proven to be unhealthy, yet we dump money into that industry to keep it afloat.
3. World travel is important for people to do so they encounter diversity and to see how the rest of the world lives and start to develop a working knowledge of it. Without it, one simply assumes from what they've seen on TV or read, and of course what they have seen first hand in their limited exposure to the world.

I'm not claiming to be worldly by any means. I'm just saying that you have to atleast expose yourself to the world to better understand it.
