Why am I not surprised ?  Since ancient Roman days, reports from the dark continent were ridiculed.  Descriptions of giraffes were deemed to cock and bull tall stories.

I assumed you were a genuine person.

No need to flatter me.  It will make me suspicious. 

I'm no longer sure you are an honest person.

So you reckon I am a liberal pretending otherwise. 

Fine by me.

HAH!!

I can't stand capsicum.

We all have our yuck factor.

Instead of imagining, look at reality where the African perception of farming is to overgraze with goats and scrawny cattle, desertify and move on to repeat the process.

That happens here too.

Instead of "desertify", farmers should diversify.

No.  I was literally referring to desertification, not crop-rotation or allowing land to be fallow for a year..
