Scott Tracy 537 Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 See? This is the so called Social Immunity kicking in from the Sufficent Economy. Social Immunity will defend the village from Politicians who want to harm it. this guy has not banned rice farming, but has urged rice farmers to save water due to low supplies. I need my rice, therefore I need water. Ah yes, but I need rice too, therefore I need water. But it's my water, no it's not, it's mine....gunshots.... Does this guy eat rice? He doesn't farm it, I bet. He eats rice someone else has grown. With someone else's water. Grow your own...eat your own. A sufficient economy. Let the cities starve. Link to post Share on other sites
