"What's that?" I thought. "Some eco-conscious farmer outwitting the writers of the greatest (and certainly most-respected) English-language periodical in the world? What a blow for the common man!"
I have little commentary, having read it now. The simple weblog post barely counted as a repsonse, much less a "magnificent rebuttal." One shouldn't let one's political views blind him/her from the truth. *rolls eyes*
