No, but the TV dish may interfere with your pot plants on the roof top garden.

What are you talking about Classicman?

I am asking what you define as "it" in your quote, "Whew. Yup - everyone should have their own manufacturing facility and a garden on their roof. That'd do it?"

Or at least to explain your completely idiotic strawman. You do seem to love those.

I was positive... positive it will never be more than a supplement to the supply of fresh, in season, veggies.
I know more than a little about both farming and agricultural history.

Little things like how much land it takes to produce each type of veggie, grain, fruit, dairy, etc, for a city of say a million or three, precludes this plan from possibly being more than a supplement to the supply.

Add the economics, peoples buying/eating habits, questions of property/produce ownership, weather/location, and I am positive.

I never thought it would solve anything or replace the way food is currently produced. I just think it will help, in more ways than one, as I mentioned.

You call me idiotic and you still want me to explain a post that had NOTHING to do with you. ok, I'll bite, but just cuz I like you. Another poster implied something that I replied to. It had nothing to do with you. In short, NOYB.

AZ factsArizona would be ok if we adopt the pie in the sky everybody have a farm and a factory lifestyle.

We've got corn, alfalfa, melons, citrus, beans, and loads and loads of self propelled foodstuffs.

Dear Pedantic Retard,

Perhaps that applies to you soft little girls up North.

While we're at it, please demonstrate where Obama admitted using crack. Thanks.

And heroin is a form of morphine. But calling them the same thing is both inaccurate and - in this case - blatantly dishonest.

BS. It is common for people to use the term cocaine when speaking of crack.

But not the other way round. Crack is a type of cocaine; cocaine is not a type of crack.
