140206 My Comment to The Guardian
on "Australian Farmers Should Not....."
The fact that
Australian farms are almost entirely family owned and operated should
not make them a special case more worthy of government assistance
than other professions

Good,
plain-talking article.
Our 'farmers'
used to be regarded as 'the salt of the earth', until
citiphiles in lab coats, and others with a generally broader view of
the world, established that our 'farmers' are doing the most
horrendous damage to the larger, underlying ecology, upon which ALL
'life on earth' is totally dependent, with their terribly destructive
farming processes, from the chemicals, through the broad-acre,
monocropping, killing the crucial biodiversity, to the 'family-owned'
so small occupancy-and-employment, community-destroying structures.
ET cetera!
Then, things like
cattle, sheep, and trendy smaller herds, are not compatible with the
nature of our soils. Soils evolved over billions of years into the
once-magnificent ecological and biological balance the planet once
was.
Then, all, or
most all being less-than-Einsteins, either being able to exist on
'government hand-outs' and/or the interest they accrue from 'owning'
huge swathes of [stolen Aboriginal] land, whether or not the 'farm'
is 'pumping' out dollars from invasive herds and/or crops, there's
the 'preferences' most choose, of one lazy-ass'ed form of making a
rural living - cattle, being pretty bloody easy to 'grow', or
another, which do little for the overall food supply, other than for
those who can afford a nice piece of meat, each night.
Add, the
deforestation running amok, so same-same dumb-as- 'farmers' can
spread MORE bullshit over the delicate biodiversity-soils? Nevermind
the crucial dependence upon all the wunnerful critters,
large-and-small, natural, and old-growth forests nurture, protect,
and birth, to keep the overall ecological balance!
'Farmers' might
be the word applicable to People who divine, and employ the Science
to discern what overall better crops and stocks they can have, better
for the 'All Things Considered' perspective, and way to make a
living.
'Farming' cannot
continue, based on each different occupant's preferences in what and
how they abuse the land.
Dreamy heads,
having idealized images put into their minds as kids, about being a
'cattle farmer' or a broad-acre wheat farmer, etc, without any
REALPolitik assessments and evidence as to their broader, longer-term
biological viability?
The land is our
Mother, Cockheads, so YOU have the largest responsibility to know
that everything you put in, on the land, and everything you reap off
it, only adds to the overall health and perpetual sustainability of
MUM EARTHA!
And, though far
your eyes are from perceiving this, YOU 'Farmer', have the PRIMARY
Responsibility to ensure everything you think, dream, say and do to
MUM EARTHA, only adds to the overall health and perpetual
sustainability of Her little babies - the human race!
[Agricultural
manual labor, is the healthiest occupation on earth! "BAN
TRACTORS!!!" (A little joke there!)]
As treasurer ho
J- Jo Hockey made a noise with the other day, "...the 'age
of entitlement' is over".
Especially..., in
the primary and thus first and most crucial 'business', industry and
spin-off trades of food supply.
Most 'farmers',
I'd guess, do in fact know the serious and deadly anomalies extant
across our wide and "Bleck" country, in our 'farming
traditions' [HA!], and most also see it as one damned HUGE hurdle for
anyone to tackle, in terms of making the whole structure and all
related systems Right, Sustainable and Proper.
That the
corrections that will be instituted, or, everyone and everything be
damned, is so big an issue, is I suggest, why so many don't bother.
But this was what
the national 'peak agricultural bodies' and federations are supposed
to exist to ensure? HA!
Getting a common
consensus across a massively diverse, 'private, selfish'
agenda-ridden ideological and cultural range, as we have alone in the
bush, not including the craziminds over-populating in the cities, and
the 'schools' of thought pumping politicians out at a rate of
'NOT!s', not addressed, and forced into popular debate, consensus and
correction, is our downfall.
But HEY! We can
always buy CHINESE apricots, or South American oranges, aye,
SPC-Ardmona?
DERRR?!@#$%^???
Wake-up
meatheads!
My Comment to
another commentor
'Longerenong'
"PM Tony
Abbrogate"! It fits!
Nope! the car
industry is NOT sustainable, ATC.
Not without a
complete 'revolution' in resourcing materials, types of materials
["Hemp"], designs [electric, as per 'Tesla', USA], and the
eradication of planned obsolescence. And the A&M industries!
As well, perhaps
primary, is educing the intellect out from hiding deep within the
consumers' minds. Such that they know and want VALUE, and other
crucial things, in their purchases.
This, might -
might, bring them into a REAListic age, of having vehicles
which do the job of transporting, over the current farce, primary in
leading us into the pit/ditch/abyss, of trendoid looking
cheap-as-sawdust short-lived [until the paint wears dull] crap.
'Farming' as it
is, does the same, but with our taste buds,, more than focusing on
rather more important health and nutrition, etc.
