Now, just how does that figure into Clinton's and the UN's idea that all food should be grown in third world countries and all farming in the US should end? I know I am tied to my land by the blood sweat, and tears I've put into it. What kind of culture do we have when no one has ties to the land? Probably the opposite of 'vigorous, independent, virtuous, tied, wedded, and most lasting bands'
