The ongoing funding at times of duress during the inevitable flood/famine/drought only serves to slow the move to the farmers taking charge of their own affairs - in this case self insurance. The greens are seeing a problem and reacting. The greens have a point but dont offer solutions and at present only promote reactive discussion. There is a way ahead and rather than debating on fine points of detail, that the likes of Perseus has engaged, to get back to the big picture and above all, create the conditions for change. To help some move off the land and for others to move in to do it better. The Greens, like the spammers that make Microsoft produce more robust software, have a role to play.
It is for the likes of Perseus to respond with solutions to improve the system without looking for his "bimbocracies" to solve them.
Once we get that mind set, we can move on and get down to detail. Before that, all we are doing is tilting at self-created 'wind-mills'.
