This is the paradox of our times: we claim proudly to live in a country founded and run by "the common man"-- yet we dismiss, out of hand, the insights of the common man into his own society if he is not a lettered celebrity. If we have a question about agriculture or land laws, we'll ask a politician, a bureaucrat, a famous "researcher" or a hollywood activist for their insights-- but we would never stoop to asking a farmer.
