Was it some rebel guerrilla warfare tactics...coming in and destroying everything the villagers put into it so the rebels could rule through fear and threat of starvation.
No.
Was there some horrible drought that killed all chance of having fertile soil to grow and harvest from?
No again.
Turns out the villagers just had absolutely NO work ethic and they were so used to being lazy and not doing anything that they just FORGOT about it and let it grow over.
All of the years of work that my teacher had put into it had gone to waste because siesta-time was by far more a priority. Oh...this made him into a bitter hippy. A bitter hippy indeed. So he decided to take it out on us by giving looooong monotone speeches and by screaming how the government was out to get us. The U.S. government controls EVERYTHING (says mad, bitter hippy man)... from the advertisements you see on t.v. to the toilet paper you stick up your ass. They control.... your mind....
This.... is a bitter and PARANOID hippy. No happy butterfly and sunshine worlds for him. YIKES!!!!
