"The farmers and small busineses that you cite didn't go away. " <br /> <br />"But the percentage of the population living on farms was drastically lower in 1980 than in 1880 - they had lost some political clout." <br /> <br />"I never said farmers opposed dereg. I said they hadn't gone away and were still upset about railroad rates." <br /> <br />Grey, I'm trying to find the merits in your arguments -- it strikes me as important to see if you're right. But among other things, I can't even get past the foundational facts you're using, because they seem to say one thing in one place, and something else in another. For instance, how do I reconcile these three statements of yours in reference to farmers? Did they or didn't they go away? Did they or didn't they lose political power? Did this loss or lack of loss of power effect different outcomes 97 years apart? Could you help me out here? <br /> <br />OS <br />
