look closer at the number of acres being lost annually in agricultural
regions of the south...don't you think that is an awful lot?

Not to be too flippant, but why do I care if farmland in the south
gets
converted to urban land?

....and therein is the problem revealed.... no sense in discussing the
issue with you.

Going back to the original point in this, as long as it's just private
land
changing hands and the public land is being managed well, what's the
issue?

yeah...again, i find it hard to believe you are that
narrow-minded...until now, i never suspected such. what happens when all
the "private" farmland and forests are gone to condos, parking lots,
etc? rainforests?? hell janik...why should you and i worry about
anything...won't be much change by the time we're dust... anyway, i'm
leaving this morning for a trip west...and working at the great mystery
again.
