Erik J Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 I don't like to be the "stand on a soapbox" type but this stuff got my attention. There is a bill being presented right now that turns over a whole lot of power to a few large food producing companies. Monsanto being one of them. In my opinion, the bill appears to have good intentions but the players involved have the potential to take control of just about the entire chain of US food production. It looks to me that small US organic farms could be run out of business by not being able to pay the fees involved and if they can, the farm would be subject to buying supplies to run their farm/facility from only a certain few suppliers. Generally speaking, industrial farms are the ones that have contaminated the food supply in recent years - not the small organic farms.

Kent Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 This is shocking you would ever try posting this nonsense on BOL and I hope the Moderators will put this thread. The government ALWAYS has its' citizens best interest in mind. Big government and more government control ALWAYS means cheaper, better, more environmentally friendly products and services. In addition, simplifying options drives the costs of product down. This is all common sense......matter of fact, look at snowboards; today, there are only a handfull of alpine manufacturers and the entry point is so reasonable. Please remove.

Trying times these are.... Yep hows the HOPE and CHANGE feel now huh? like a big stick up yer @$$ no doubt unless your deaf dumb and blind. I am so sick of the whole red blue thing when everyone of them is the same. This is a Fascist Democracy now, not the republic it was intended to be. politicians are all the same and they are not here to help you. They are here to **** you and take your money. Monsanto is clearly EVIL and should be stopped in any way possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEJ Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 "Change" in this election cycle means socialism. Pure and simple. DOUBLED our national debt in less than the first two months. But wait, we have cap and trade to look forward to! I'm sure more than doubling our energy costs will stimulate the economy. Funny thing is, the feds don't consider sucking all this money out of our wallets a tax. And for what? To stop global warming? What a joke. Except, it's on us.
