I reminded myself of a quote in another thread:
"The area of production should be as far as possible coterminous with the area of consumption. The utilitarians were wrong in saying that "things should be produced where they can be most economically produced". The true principle is: things should be produced where they can be most economically consumed." - Fr. Vincent McNabb
I heard about three or four minutes of some lefty, pinko, Marxist* farmer on NPR the other day who's apparently been saying the same thing. (Didn't get to listen long enough to catch his name- Ken?) Sounded pretty good, up until he got to the part about not drinking coffee. That's just crazy talk. Otherwise, I thought he was talking good common sense.
What d'ya think?
(*- No offense meant, just a joke. For all I know, the farmer on NPR was only a scum-sucking, liberal Democrat. And anyway, I'm agreeing with him, so don't go getting your sensibilities all in a knot.)
"People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realize how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world."
