I will admit I am being a tad bit inflexible but I am doing it to largely illustrate my point. Also the I have had a fucking headache since six in the morning its six till three now. Anyways my point on that is largely philosophical the platonic ideals of farming if ya will, there will always be exceptions to the rule I just leave those exceptions to the environmental scientists to decide. A fine example is the rice farms in the central valley which double function as an important rest area for certain migratory birds.
Anyways I am going to try to get back onto the whole farmers and to a degree rural folks as a whole are ignorant, hopefully without the regional hatred of an Inland Imperial showing.
Rural areas have been propagandized to a severe level for centuries resulting in them taking often times self destructive tendencies, a prime example of this is a town up towards NorCal I believe who wanted to build lots of single family homes instead of high density apartments and condos under the false assumption that building high density would inevitably destroy them faster than building low density. Ive come across plenty who assume they know the wisdom of the world yet haven't left their county since the fucken 90s, seriously if I have to hear about how LA and Seattle were burnt down I am going to drag someone behind my fucken car.
Rural regions have been under the under influence of priests, talk radio, and fox news for decades and it has rotted them. My vitriol is largely that of someone lashing out against seeing people who closely resemble his kin being abused.
Also I am quite literally repeating the ideals of my 2x great grandfather when it comes to irrigation, this dates back to the water war. The problem is that everytime the states attempts to reform water rights and water irregation the central valley throws the biggest bitch fit.
So you are going to condemn farmers as a whole as incompetent morons because they are not perfectly in line with your ideal despite your lack of knowledge and experience or any real qualification beyond being slightly farming adjacent a handful of times. And frankly I think you made that up given that you couldn't even use the right terminology. I thought it was because English is not your native language. Ha.
Here's my unsolicited suggestion for you: read more. Your writing sucks, which is not a good thing for someone who likes to blather on.
I did note I was dealing with a headache. I read plenty, its just an issue where my mind is scattershot at the best of times meaning that when I have a fucken headache I cant coalesce my thoughts into spoken form let alone written particularly well. Autisms a right fucken bitch for writing, and thats not even factoring in how shit my dialect is for use in the written word.
Regardless I have nothing more to say to ya profligate. Also I will be vindicated when the Central Valley is turned to dustlands once the water inevitably dries up just like the Aral sea.
