1. farmer apologized for his words and offered me his friendship, which I accepted2. Most I respect farmer for is his vigorous appreciation and promotion of market values. Yes, in his beliefs he goes too far in my opinion, which some people can consider as asocial behavior. But looking back, I see that some things, which were considered asocial say 30 years ago (e.g., gay rights), are perfectly socially acceptable today. So, farmer is at the social frontier and stands firm for his beliefs. He is a brave man and confronts the crowd, which always protects traditional values.I also appreciate and share market values, though I am rather a conformist with regard to socially acceptable rules. But I appreciate people like farmer who is a 'social pioneer' and changes our view on the future.
