Joel Salatin is an eloquent spokesman for the return to sane agriculture.
It took 100 years to corrupt farming into centralized tyranny.  It only 
took 20 years to corrupt the internet.  Both cases are intrigingly
parallel.  The solution to both is the same (while we still have the 
freedom):

   1) grow your own food as much possible, know your farmer for the rest
      (not everyone is talented at growing plants and raising animals).

   2) run your own services as much possible, know your sysadmin for the
      rest (not everyone is a computer geek).

A critic of Salatin (not woke enough):

I have a copy of "Folks, This Ain't Normal" which I will try to remember
to bring.
