Libertarian Beliefs

I think when you talk about a resource that has a limit, you have to count on human to pay the eventual price for sustaining or overusing it. This is balance, I think, is easier to sustain with out governement interferance. We have been able to sustain a balance because of a free system that allow ideas to proliferate.

Think about geneticly engineered food. If we didnt have GA food we would have to trip 2.5 billion over the boat we call mother earth. Guess what, people turn ugly when its their turn and have this tendency not to want to go. But because of scientific accomplishments we are able to feed more people today than ever before. If governement interference, pushed on by Special interest groups, would have taken hold we would be watching people starve in mass now. A "green" group got the government of Zimbabwue(SP?) to go against geneticly altered food and guess what...Famine...Because of government interference.

Just my thought, I understand the concepts that some people might not have apples for their pie, but if you let me grow my garden the way I want to than Ill have extra to share...Thats the sweet and fluffy libertarian in me...

 

It used to be that the USA was a net exporter, but in recent years it has become a net importer, of agricultural products.

In California I see hundreds of square miles of former farmland that can not now sustain crops, or is being built on.
