Don't you remember the bullying, abuse, libel and defamation in the Country Landowners Assoc name! We do!

See above. Current production is hampered by the remnants of the collective system leaving ownership and access to too many people who have not the resources to work the land. Huh? Where thay have been bought out the new farms are far more productive than the old collectives. 'The IMF has helped foster a severe depression in Russia Russia in the 1990s has witnessed a peacetime economic contraction of unprecedented scale. Many believe much of the blame for the social and economic catastrophe rests with the IMF, which has had a central role in designing and supervising Russia's economic policy since 1992. The number of Russians in poverty has risen from 2 million to 60 million since the IMF came to post-Communist Russia. Male life expectancy has dropped sharply from 65 years to 57. Economic output is down by at least 40 percent. The IMF's shock therapy - sudden and intense structural adjustment - helped bring about this disaster "In retrospect, its hard to see what could have been done wrong that wasn't," Mark Weisbrot of the Center for Economic and Policy Research told a Congressional committee in late 1998. "First there was an immediate de-control of prices. Given the monopoly structure of the economy, as well as the large amount of cash savings accumulated by Russian households, inflation soared 520 percent in the first three months. Millions of people saw their savings and pensions reduced to crumbs." "Then the IMF and Russian policymakers compounded their mistakes," Weisbrot explained. "In order to push inflation down, the authorities slammed on the monetary and fiscal brakes, bringing about a depression. Privatization was carried out in a way that enriched a small class of people, while the average persons income fell by about half within four years." Meanwhile, Russia kept its economy functioning with an influx of foreign funds, lent at astronomically high interest rates because of the strong possibility of default. In 1998, with the Asian crisis still unfolding and with Russian default seemingly near, the IMF agreed to a $23 billion loan package to Russia, seeking to maintain the rubles overvalued exchange rate. An initial $4.8 billion portion of the loan left the country immediately [...] some used to pay off foreign lenders, much of it stolen by Russian politicians. - IMF versus Russia by Vladimir Shestakov. http://www.doublestandards.org/sap1.html Jim isn't, and you have shown that you are another shoddy liar.

You haven't stopped wriggling yet. Because most of your food ingredients are actually imported from water deficient countries you get awfully embarassed What are you talking about? Let's have some examples. Anyhoo.. 'Water, wheat and beef All farming needs water. But the amount of water needed to produce a pound of beef is far greater than that required for a pound of wheat. Water usage Earth is two-thirds water, and only 0.06 per cent of this is fresh water and even less of this is available as drinking water. Animal agriculture uses huge amounts of water, energy and chemicals, often with little regard for the long-term adverse effects. Between 1960 and 2000 worldwide usage of water doubled (25). Agriculture uses 70 per cent of all water, while in many developing countries the figure is as high as 85 to 95 per cent (26). Many irrigation systems are pumping water from underground reservoirs much faster than they can ever be recharged. The production of meat is an inefficient use of such a vital limited resource. [...] The University of California studied water use in their state, where most agricultural land is irrigated, and said it uses between 20 to 30 gallons of water to produce vegetables such as tomatoes, potatoes and carrots to create an edible pound of food. It takes 441 gallons of water to make a pound of beef (28). Fresh water, once a seemingly abundant resource, is now becoming scarce in many regions and that poses a real threat to the stability of the world. Numerous countries are in dispute over water supplies, and the seeds of future wars are clearly beginning to germinate. ...' http://www.viva.org.uk/guides/planetonaplate.htm In the US: 'Feed-grain farming guzzles water, too. In California, now the United States' leading dairy state, livestock agriculture consumes nearly one-third of all irrigation water. Similar figures apply across the western United States, including areas using water from dwindling aquifers. The beef feedlot center of the nation -- Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, and the Texas panhandle -- relies on crops raised with water pumped out of an underground water source called the Ogallala aquifer, portions of which have been severely depleted. With half of the grain and hay fed to American beef cattle growing on irrigated land, water inputs for beef production mount. More than 3,000 liters of water are used to produce a kilogram of American beef. (Reisner & Bates 1990; Sweeten 1990; Weeks et al. 1988; Oltjen 1991; Ward, Dept. Animal Sciences) ...' http://www.thevegetariansite.com/env_animalfarming.htm and then the really funny way you are so embarassed by your posts you are ashamed to post under your own name Ridiculous. It is you who should be embarassed, but you are too foolish to realise just how foolish you are. I'm not the one too embarrassed by my bizarre beliefs to post under my own name You should be.
