Chiapas my ass

[Michael Perelman]

Right you are.  Take the good land away from people.  Put them on small plots
on infertile hillsides.  Deprive them of credit and necessary inputs .....

I just mentioned on pen-l an old book Farmers of 40 Centuries by King
describing the success of "primitive" Asian ag.  Written around 1910.
