Our beloved First Lady is reading the Engles/Wilder classic Little House on the Prairie. Isn't that special? What wonderful family values they had back then. Gotta bring'em back! I'll have Dubya Dear get busy with Congress.
Does that mean we're all gonna move back onto small farms, churn our own butter, sew our own clothes and poop in stinking outhouses? I can just see Laura heading out for the little house behind the little house with a Sears and Roebuck catalog in her hands.
About 3 % of Americans live on farms anymore. The family farm was killed off by agribusiness and not even Willie Nelson has been able to save them.
Why should a values system that arose from a 19th Century agricultural economy be applicable to post-modern America? What kind of laws will the Dubya gang pass to bring back traditional family values?
