Healthy soil and sustainable growing

["Tradingpost" <tradingpost@lobo.net>]

Hoewever, statistically several other countries have a higher standard of 
living, lower infant mortality, better health care, shorter work hours, and 
more paid holidays. Our country may be way better for some, but not for the 
vast majority of us. Americans of course won't believe that because they know 
this is the greatest country that ever was. But we can love our native land 
without all the false patriotic hype we're fed. I'm esp attached to the 4 
Corners region where I've settled for ten years. The sense of place is part 
of us. In spite of it all I'm glad to be here.
