		To whom...,




	Do we have nothing to add to an analysis of peasantry over 100
years old?  American farmers aren't peasants!  The age of peasantry is
over.  That is the problem modern peasants face.  Danish folk songs,
probably 200 years old are very nice, but modern agricultural producers
are trying to make their money in a global marketplace.  Corn producers in
any country have to contend with world corn prices as a fact of life, no
matter where they are.  Talking about 1800's European peasantry may be
informative, but ignoring the facts of the modern, capitalist economy is
not. 




	peace
