Not in the US. More and More people are moving to the country. Carving up
the the land into smaller and small segments at a destructive pace. The
last census showed that most cities have fewer people. I am one of those
that fled the city for the safety of the country.

when times get really bad people
will be forced to band together again.

around here most of the townships
have lost population the past ten
years.


more people are raising
chickens and pigs in close proximity again.
these sorts of trends are asking for
trouble.

Does this mean I have to kick my chickens, dogs and bessy the cow out of my
bed room Or are you advocating vegetarianism? Or against farm factories
from that last sentence?

i much prefer no kicking involved
when it comes to animals.

i'm just stating that it's more
likely we'll have an increase of
certain kinds of diseases as more
people get involved in raising
animals.

as it currently stands i'm not
a big fan of factory farming, but
the acreage involved in free range
chicken farming for huge flocks
would consume many acres of land
and there's a good chance it would
damage the environment on those
many acres too. in the end my
answer is to eat less meat all
around. as an omnivore there are
other sources i can be happy with
and they cost less than meat most
of the time.

looks like free range pig farming
is already happening in Michigan with
the wild pigs. so there at least is
an ethical source of pig, but so far
they've not shown their curly tails
here...


on top of the likelyhood of
food shortages, riots, wars, water
shortages, etc. it's going to be an
interesting period of time coming up.

Interesting only for those that can avoid the food and water shortages,
riots and wars. Shortages caused by humans breading like rats. Let us
support Family Planning and the Environmental Protection Agency

and the right to arm bears.
