    No longer a Flashkit mod, not even by stealth

    Insanity is just a point of view. After all, the world looks pretty normal through your own underpants.

    in this circumstance the farmers already had a roof over their head and food on the table. I imagine the money from the west was wanted by the farmers so they could be western products and such.

    Not directed at any of your other comments, but with this one, you're really showing you have no idea at all.

    So where exactly have you gleaned this gem of information about farmers being paid to switch to cash crops is because they have an abundance of money to buy "western" products (the majority of which are not even made in the west)?
