Farms for the People

  If I were running for governor; or if I knew anyone doing so; or even anyone in the state legislature -- why, Novanglus, you sot, you ought to write this to the legislature! Or perhaps someone has already done something on it, one of those policy types....(ever have I wondered, how can Policy be a thing, reified, to study? Isn't it a form, in Platonic terms, rather than content? How can we have a school of mere forms? I don't know).

  Anyway. I would attach a community farm to every public school in the Commonwealth. Agriculture of, by, and for the People! Rooftop gardens and chicken coops would count. The Jockocracy in the suburbs would yield some of their fields for sport that the people might eat. In the country we could have cows and goats.

  Bear me out in it, O Agricolae!
