...correct, however, when you say that the hottest issue is likely to be property. The liberals don't care if the conservatives all leave, as long as the liberals can hang on to all the church properties and foundation funds...

This was followed by a drought during the hottest summer of the century. The resulting crop damage and late harvest taxed the Soviets' inadequate technology to the breaking point. Trucks, harvesting machinery, railroad cars, granaries and manpower all seemed to be in the wrong place at the wrong time...
