The whole "It's 'OK' for farmers to die instead" rhetoric shows how
ignorant, ill-informed, unthinking and completely irrational some folks
are about this issue.

I was going to be sarcastic and say "The bleached bones of countless
dead and endangered farmers are rapidly blowing away in the hot, parched
desert winds" but I just KNOW some fool would quote me in some
Conservative propaganda rag or on a talk show.
