Right, near that area.
But we need people like you in California.
Thanks, but we are too far and in between. But we are trying to get the message out! Hopefully we can get rid of Red Davis and get a Rebublican gov.
Can you imagine what CA would be like without any conservative influence? Scary thought.
Right now we are living it.
As for boxer and feinstein, you have my sympathy. We got rid of Carol Mosley-Braun (probably better known here as, Carol Mostly Fraud) so there's hope for CA.
Man I hope so. Pray for March 5th!
Congratulations on your engagement! I hope your leg is healed in time for the wedding.
Can't agree with you there. I'm no ecomnomic expert on agriculture, but farmers as well as everyone else needs to stand up on thier own, but to keep them afloat, some help might be OK. The only reason they need help is probably govmint regulations, Including FDA and EPA, etc.
Wow, I think you are the closest Freeper I've ever responded to. 40 miles!
One of the positive things about this thread is that there's so many of us so-called Socialist Farm supporters here. I'm proud of us. We'll hold fast to our ideas. My thinking is that the throw-the-farmers-out people might be ...developers who want farm land to put up ugly tract homes.
Great town, just lousy politicians!
< I> Sigh, one day....if my sweetheart (the web designer) gets sponsored into a great paying job in the Bay Area...(he's back in the UK working).
Bad timing for valentines day.:(
I've been helping him send out dozens of resumes for web designer, developer, etc. If you hear/know of anything let me know :)
Not my field, but if I hear something...
Take care of the bent pin!(AKA broken leg.)
For future reference, you might want to consider trying to gain a sense of continuity in the threads you copy. It can at times prove invaluable.
I like farmers and appreciate their contribution and posted the article to generate some discussion.
Even here on FR, there are people who come out to defend government intervention, subsidy or whatever for a particular segment of society, and who make some good arguments in favor. So it happens with just about every segment of society....we are all in favor of limited government, the end of welfare subsidies etc. EXCEPT for whatever segment we happen to favor. Until there is some agreement by a lot of people that the concept, the philosophy is wrong, we are inevitably destined to continue our march in the direction of bigger government, more and more involved in our lives.
Too bad.
Until all aspects of farming are removed from the yoke of socialist policy, pulling the IV out of the arm of agriculture will be a near-instant death sentence.
Agriculture is the most rigged game in town. To attack the farmers is to demonstrate the ability to be at once myopic, vindictive, and self-defeating. Say hi to your new chinese and mexican masters, perhaps if you express due deferrence, they'll toss you the scraps you need to survive at a price you can almost afford once American agriculture is no longer able to feed the country.
Right!
EXCEPT for whatever segment we happen to favor.
Wrong!Freedom for all.
What a load of crap. You either know nothing about markets and price mechanisms or you're just blindly parroting the Welfare Farmer line.
Tell you what - let's go for it! I'll bet prices won't skyrocket once the Welfare Farmers get off our backs and off our tits, and I'm willing to take my chances with the free market, because it works.
Are you?
