these kooks that want to elevate a tree or a frog to the point that people have no food and shelter are evil

“They’re working to create a vegetarian society,” Berry said.

I’m not a vegetarian because I love animals. I’m a vegetarian because I hate vegetables and I want them all to DIE! ;)

And, yes. I WILL be hugging a Farmer later on today. :)

"Have you hugged a farmer today?"

Yes.

the average American is three generations removed from the farm

And Niven wrote that no country is more than three meals away from revolution. I love the fact that PETA, et al, kill more animals than they save and have the gall to lecture anyone about animal rights. Also, from a farmer's standpoint, sick and diseased animals don't sell. It's obviously in their best interest to keep them as healthy as possible.

It will take a disaster or a near disaster to wake people up and the scary thing is that it might be too late for the United States by the time people figure it out.

If you really think about it, the scope and diversity of American agriculture is what has allowed America to be great. It had a huge hand in winning both World Wars and it was also the last time farmers got any real respect.

It’s a real bummer that groups like the Humane Society and the Audobon (sp?) Society have been infiltrated by nuts. Their extreme agendas need to be opposed vigorously. Better yet, they need to be taken over and returned to their original purposes.

Any damn fool that disrupts our food supply ought to be shot. We’re getting down to the fundatmentals, folks. Don’t mess with the food supply. The communist crazies would have us starve to death, just as they have done anywhere that communism rears up its ugly head.
