                Mr. Proyect,




        I respect a man who can bombast.

Louis: What are "public efforts"? This is a Marxism list, you dodo. We
don't use terminology like this. That is what you hear from the
run-of-the-mill economics professor at a community college. There are
only "efforts" (attacks) by one class directed at another. The big
bourgeoisie attacks the petty-bourgeoisie and the proletariat."



        Your point is taken (oops, in the passive voice, but then I am being
evasive anyway, so what the heck).  By "public efforts", I meant to indicate
public-minded efforts to make the farmer more productive or more
environmentally sound.  I stated this unclearly.



        I'm sorry I sound like a "run-of-the-mill economics professor at a
community college.  Maybe someday I'll embrace some more bourgeois trappings
and   so I can sound like a run-of-the-mill programmer who works at an ivy
league university.



        The proletariat does, in the real world, have internal conflict.  I'm
sure that farmers and environmentalists won't stop arguing even after the
revolution.



        Oh, by the way, is Nicaragua a socialist state now, I'm a little
confused.  I thought that the Sandinistas were no longer in power.  Nicaragua
proves the point, as far as I can see, comrade.




        peace
