The point is that in Ithaca, The City of Evil, Government is king! The government can do no wrong, and the government is not big enough, intrusive enough, nor spending enough. But now that the largesse that they approve of, support, and demand is starting to encroach on them its another story.

Good call, Phantom Lord.

And not just in Ithaca, either...all over America, liberals don't give two whits about how burdensome excessive government regulations are on small business...until that small business is one they find "politically incorrect." Then, SUDDENLY, they start whining about how we need to get the government off the backs of business.

I look forward to your letter to the Ithaca Journal about this. Thanks.

"politically correct," I meant liberals only care about businesses they find politically CORRECT.

I do not know enough about the "organic" issue, nor the efforts of the local 'organic' farmers to get an organic standard to write a cogent, informative, and effective letter or I would.

We have farmers markets all over the place down here, which I frequent a great deal. Not to mention this is farm country. But the organic issue is non-existent here.
