North West IA/western AZ | Heard thru my sister that a somewhat famous photographer cousin of mine did a piece in Burn magazine.
http://www.burnmagazine.org/dialogue/2010/12/the-corn-state/
I thought very nice until I read this "…..conservative only actually in the sense of thinking that a man ought to work hard for his family and be independent and the government should keep its hands out of just about everything…the irony of course is that without government subsidies , Cecil would have given up the family farm long ago…" Wait a minute! Back up the truck! Is this the kind of thing you put in an article to honor someone? Especially since it is not true! Dad may have taken some cost share on some terracing done in the late 50/ early 60s, but not a dime since, until I came along and talked him into it in the 80s after Jimmy Carter ruined our markets with his embargo.
I have registered with Burn mag. to post a reply, but am still trying to cool off and compose something fitting. Any ideas will be appreciated. | |
