If I were a white farmer in Rhodesia I would take this oportunity to fertilize my fields with salt and diesel fuel and then leave the country for some place more hospitable.
RE: sowing salt))) Tempting thought, but the farmers who come after these white Rhodesians likely wouldn't be able to farm Eden itself, so why waste the salt? Classic Atlas Shrugged. They chase out the producers.
Gee, now, if the blacks were Serbs and the whites Albanians, there'd be more interest from the world.
