. . . . . entries for 3.8.09 . . . . .
I think I should visit some ag people - academics, policy wonks, farmers and ranchers both conventional and organic, large and small and (perhaps even!) medium-sized - and see what there is to see about how they're doing in this economy, what they feel about climate legislation, their needs and thoughts and beliefs. I have never really talked to a farmer, but it seems too much like everyone only believes the facts (and/or fictions, half-truths, and veritable exotic cocktails of the fallacious and the factual) that, when held true, benefit them materially. I've listened a lot to the side that says It Will Only Hurt A Little And If You Don't It Will Hurt More re. climate legislation's effect on ag, and while I truly despise those who are moderate and opinion-less because they harbor the impression that it makes them look intelligent and cool-headed, I think I need for a moment to step into their shoes, and further, into actually finding out what makes "the other side" tick.
Maybe over winter break? . . .
come home?
