The "No Problem" Attitude

I did have a serious point, one you avoided answering the last time. I'll ask again, In your opinion, should agriculture be included in this unfettered economy? Bearing in mind, that most agriculture in developed countries relies on artificial means to provide food at low prices.

Let's become cannibals then. We can eat our dead. Cemeteries would become all-you-can-eat buffets.

Other animals taste better young. That would likely be true for humans, too.

So not cemeteries, but infant care.........

Well you can always leave your body to medical science - they'll leave it to rot in a field or a pond for the study purposes or you'll end up in Body Worlds having sex with someone you never met! while your fossilised internal organs are on display in a glass case!

I'm not a great fan of agricultural subsidies either, but the argument put forward is that without these inducements agriculture would be shifted out of Industrial nations and into areas where labour is cheap.

I mentioned this elsewhere - but something that really appalled me was that there are in fact, large commercial farms in Sudan, yet all the food they produce has been presold to places like Jordan and Saudi Arabia.

Yes, apparently that is true. Places where the government does not give a fig about its population seem to end up like this. Would that the US were like this too. Not that I believe all those in government do give a fig, but I am sure the drift is there...

LOL! So you're sidestepping the reply I just gave to your "debunking" of sound economic theory, in favor of digging up something I apparantly didn't answer about agriculture? Let me dig through some of our stimulating debates in search of this elusive and serious question that I avoided.

Did Tesco do that too with Zimbabwean produce?

Its very wrong.

Not really, yes, I didn't put my point of view across very clearly. While what is being argued is probably true, the type of world that would result is one where currency is given more value than human life. Not the sort of world I would care to live in.

All in all, this world exists today.

Not sure. Certainly possible. Of course, I am sure there is some reason, some government intervention policy which means that this is a result of economic deviancy and not how sterile economic theory doesn't coexist very well with a desire by humans to in general live in a humane society.

All in all? would you care to go live in a society that operates on the premise that its population is expendable? That is not the premise of the USA, nor most of Europe, though I am sure it quite certainly could be.

I do consider most of the population to be expendable.
