re: #74 rurality

Depends. I’d listen to a farmer if I need to know about farming. You can’t just throw out a profession that is salt of the earth and say, you’d listen to them wouldn’t you? I probably won’t listen to a farmer necessarily if I’m asking about relativity, unless he has credentials there. Not to disparage the intelligence of farmers as to their understanding of relativity, but I’ll probably go to someone in the field. I’ll probably won’t go to a farmer for geology, etc. But it also depends on what kind of farming. Gore is big cattle, not mom and pop farms or even agro necessarily. I realize the necessity of both, but I’m probably not going to put one of those guys up as poster child for AGW, that’s the point being made earlier.
