It does puzzle me why most of the lamb in the markets comes from New 
Zealand. There's a flock of sheep down the road but the owner might get 
upset if I shot one and dragged it home.

I will have to agree that family farmers have been forced out since Earl 
Butz's 'get big or get out' plan in the '70s. Much of the land is 
controlled by subsidized agribusinesses and worked by illegal aliens.

Butz' guiding light was cheap food. Hungry people tend to get pissed off 
and break out the pitchforks and torches. Butz was doing good until he 
observed all black people want is loose shies, tight pussy, and a warm 
place to shit.
