...cannot possibly consider itself free" Which is a quote used by Wendell Berry in either The Unsettling of America (http://www.allbookstores.com/book/9780871567727/The_Unsettling_of_America_Culture_and_Agriculture.html) or What Are People For? http://books.google.com/books?id=qAgkGwAACAAJ&dq=Wendell+berry
These are both classics in the argument that how we use our land, resources, and people is in damage mode and needs adjusting. Makes me glad to be back to my role as all around cowboy at an organic garden center where producing the highest quality food is the top priority- cuz hell- there ain't no money in it. The agribiz model of disease and strip mining the topsoil and destroying rural communities and households sees to that. Corporate and shareholder profits yes- fair sustainable prices to real farmers and producers no.
And some dare call it a miracle of the modern age. Hah!
