Farmer John and I sometimes delve into the abstract. This five question interview will focus on some vauge topics.
1 In my extensive readings and contact with Communist it seems that almost everyone that I encounter grew up in a home without religion. Is this a case of nature abhoring a vacum? Does Marxism have religious overtones?
2 Are the ecoutopians guilty of inventing a paradise that never was intheir Green Fantasies.
3 Are those on the far left elitists or thieves with killer PR?
4 Should man recreate extinct species with modern technology. Is cloning a Wolly Mammoth from frozen DNA a bad idea?
5 Are bioenginered or genetrically altered foods a potential problem for mankind. Is the lack of genetic diversity amongst domestic annimals and crops a potential problem in the future.

How come FJ gets all the cool questions?
Mr Beamish you can answer them if you like. However, bioengineered food issues seem a natural fit for the Farmer.

godlessness is always the beginging of a downfall for any civilization.
I'm jealous! The Farmer got better questions than I did. The first question was especially good Beak. The fact that you asked it tells me that you know the answer.
I was raised by two atheist parents. They are both politically conservative atheists who love our country. I've also checked it out, they are officially the world's best parents. We obviously don't talk about G-d at family get togethers.

6. how come the beak is the only link at "farmer's letters"? do you have the rest of us committed to memory or just committed?
i love it when i can slide two questions into one number!
are pork rinds and Alaskan Amber beer bioengineered?
essentially, what you're saying in answer #1 is that everybody wants a ruler/ a boss, be it a man, a god, or a government.
just here to cheer the farmer on!
EB is that beer a brand name?
Morgan
I don't know about number four. Part of me would like to see a Wooly Rhino or Mammoth roam Siberia
again.
These are good questions.
FJ seems to be one of the most knowledgeable people I've met on the Internet.
Along with ducky
Looking forward to his answers.

We did interview the Duck way back at the start.
FJ what caused the extinction of the Wooly Mammoth remains unknown.
Maybe my grand kids will get to see one or a Moa. The Mammoth may be possible because it was frozen.
beak - plucky has had enough time to change his mind!
farmer? i've seeds to sow, but don't always plant them in fertile ground. the seeds that do sprout need cultivation - isn't that what sowing seeds is truly about?
beak? what about all the new species of animals they're finding in the seas and in lands south of the equator? those are things our ancestors never imagined. you answered your own question on the wooly mammoth i believe.
every single living thing is on the edge of extinction at any given moment. to every thing there is a season...
farmer? everybody loves beak and warren!
caribou dung hopper?
say it ain't so!
the caribou dung hopper or the poetic license?
7. on what basis do you choose such stunning farmitars?
Duck
You just happern to walk and talk like a sterotype commie out of central casting. How about a trip to Cuba. You can tell us all about Fidel's great health care or be in charge of the film library at Gitmo.
You can discuss the seven Samuri with blood thirsty jihadis.
ODL - a plucky sermon on the fount!
here we go again...
everybody stand back and make was for beamish.
Ducky, you group all the Evangelicals together as somehow not walking in the "light", i have nothing against Catholics, in fact i think Catholics are as much Christian as anyone else, but i haven't seen much of what you say even slightly resemble being Christ like, than again that could be said for a lot of folks including me, but you sure do come off as being very supportive of Communist regimes, so i will be willing to buy you a plane ticket to live in Cuba, since its just so wonderful!
Ducky,
You're a Catholic. That's indication enough that you've never been exposed to Christianity.
Now go burn a candle to the Mary-shaped tear in your kitchen linoleum, and leave Biblical theology to those familiar with it.
there is no need for you to be sorry, farmer! none whatsoever!
Nice job, Beaker and FJ!
No, I won't bow down to any golden calves, no matter who puts them up! And plucky, I may just recreate a dissertation I sat under, about the Beatitudes. Drug addicts and gangsters, prostitutes, and those who have lost the ability to recognize right and wrong. Jesus was pretty strict about our thought life, that our mind is where the battle is won or lost, before we act.
Strict interpretation of Scripture is born out by Jesus own teachings. And HE never compromised on sin, but HE also went to sinners and told them that there was a way out! And we are all sinners!

beamish... I get the cool questions and you don't because I asked beak to use his rifle instead of his greande launcher. Surely, there is a difference?
I won't tell you my wife's pet name for it.
Farmer enjoyed it, this was great.
Ducky...where'd you get your masters of divinity a cracker jack box or a bathroom stall?
Morgan it is a most excellent of beers and like Farmer said is great in moderation...no more than two
or like nancpop says - just one!
right after the other...
Farmer John that was the most interesting interview I've ever read. Humans are most definitely a hierarchical(is that a word?) bunch. So even if there wasn't a god we would have created Him.
In my opinion he exists without a doubt based on the laws of physics and the universe. It seems to necessarily follow that if there are physical laws of science and nature they must have been created.
It's the purvue of philosophers as much as it is scientists. I prefer Loren Isley to Nietze(sp?). Anyways I'll bore you no longer, that was a GREAT interview!
Morgan
Morgan, were your atheist parents raised in religious homes!? It's wonderful how you talk of them....nice to hear a son so admiring of his folks.
Ducky, I guess it's a huge compliment that non-Christians always seem to think Christians are supposed to be perfect! But why is that? Everyone makes choices, everyone sins....why condemn a whole bunch for the hideous choices of a few? We're Christians, we have the promise, we're not perfect.
Farmer John, what IS your blog site, and did I EVER enjoy reading your answers. Normally, I loathe people who make me feel stupid, but I'm getting over it!! And benefiting from it! Fantastic thoughts. Thank you.
And who the HECK is this WARREN everyone adores? Please tell!!
glad to be here.........z

Warren's site is called Long Range.
Warren and I founded this blog community around two years ago. Both of us used to post on Bad Eagle, but Warren has left and I am slightly there.
You can find Warren's blog by clicking on the link that says Long Range on the right.
Farmer John's site is farmersletters.blogspot.com.
thanks, beak....I'm enjoying your site..you sure have some fabulous posters. I'm humbled by your generosity and fairness and open mind..and by your and their intelligence.
it's a great service. z
i dub this co-contender for hotseat interview of the year!
beak? are you going to do a recap of the year at new year's? that would be so cool!
We haven't had to many klunkers as far as interviews just the one with Uptown. This has been one of the better one's. I like the ones with the Editrix, She Designs and the long forgotten interview with Rob the Dirty Liberal. This is near the top.
I enjoyed this one very much and I agree it was one of the best ones.
