It's probably the old "How can there be too many people when there are
so many empty spaces"? Chestnut, used by some to imply that we have alot
of room to expand. The answer is simple.

If the land is crowded, you can't grow the crops.

If the land is in the middle of the Sahara, you can't have many people
living on it.

Same goes for Death Vally, Antarctica, The Canadian Arctic, jungles and
on and on.

In our area, Many farmers have sold off prime agricultural land for
housing development. After all, "someone else" will grow the food.
Problem is, the someone else sold off his land too.

When the places that are inhospitible to life are taken out of the
picture, it doesn't look quite so happy.

"Gad Dummit Man"; get off that soap box, QUICK!

Next they will be demanding we depart from our "antenna farms" and begin
raising vegetables! LOL!

How about we propose some experiments in which we put up a tower, and grow
crops around it, to see if the radio waves promote the crop growth?

I'll try the experiment with Barley and hops.... ;^)

Or how about genetically engineering a tree to actually be an antenna tree?
Just for kicks, we could patch in some genes to apple, peach and pear trees
too, so it wouldn't be a total ecological loss.
