What baffles me is how 3% of any population can manage to gain such an unbalanced amount of political clout, which appears to result in unfair favoritism toward a very tiny minority, often intruding upon the equally valid rights of the vast majority

Farmers constitute approximately the same percentage of the population, and they certainly get most of what they want from Congress. I don't understand it either. Although they're not trying to force us to accept their lifestyle, either.

Farmers don't control the media--gays do, from the film industry to visual arts to journalism, through direct participation and support of sympathetic co-workers.

As an aside, it was gay animators within the Disney organization that made DisneyWorld gay-friendly. To think that the same people that were making films that entertained the gullible minds of children and creating the fantasy of the "happiest place on earth" were doing some pretty deviant things for their own "entertainment".

Farmers ... certainly get most of what they want from Congress.

As for farmers, check this link on where farm subsidy monies really go:

The Heritage Foundation says most of the money is going to corporations, not farmers...
My opinion: Leave the free market system alone!
End subsidies from the government, including individual farmers.
