He is paying a most dreadful price for it. Fallen man, in ever seeking to ascend above his Creator, refuses to submit to the <B>limiting scale</B> God put into His creation, where families submitted to Him, by His grace, are to be the chief property owners (under God) and stewards of the land that they may diligently care for it through biblically sustainable agriculture. Instead, fallen man seeks to amplify his dominion and power by morphing himself by the use of the <B>the corporation</B>, which, being the virtual bastard child (artificial person - see Black’s Law Dictionary) of his own invention, is not subject to the restraining cords and bonds of God’s Law and, thus, is “protected from liability” in the temporary for the massive destruction and harm it has done to the earth and mankind, as we see with Monsanto, Con-Agra, etc. Debt-based, corporate industrialism is a curse from hell; the epitome of man’s rebellion in the Garden. The sooner believers depart from it the better. BTW, great blog!

It apparently only needs a governor to run properly, but I'm wondering if the best home for it might not be with an antique tractor collector.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16945123672733114095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13729569.post-1129914423259183262005-10-21T13:07:00.000-04:002005-10-21T13:07:00.000-04:00Oh that "we" had...sorryOh that "we" had...<BR/><BR/>sorryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13729569.post-1129914385061387652005-10-21T13:06:00.000-04:002005-10-21T13:06:00.000-04:00I love reading Berry's work, along with the Twelve...I love reading Berry's work, along with the Twelve Southern Agrarians.
