I can’t resist an aside. The mindset that leads to consolidation in agriculture, so evident in the chicken business, has also taken place in an alarming degree in human culture, especially in consolidated schooling. Just as we herd more animals into confinement buildings, we herd more children into classrooms. Then we have no choice but to follow the rule of the chicken factory: One size fits all. And we justify both kinds of concentration camps with that all-American article of faith: It’s cheaper per unit; we can’t afford to do otherwise. Then we wonder why we must de-beak chickens and frisk schoolchildren for firearms.
