Thanks for taking it in good spirit - dont get me wrong - I know there are
plenty of problems - I just get heartily sick of small family farmers
getting it in the neck for the wrongs of the corporate cowboys and the
stupidity of politicians.
The GMO thing has got me fired up at the moment and the rabid
conservationists have been either strangely silent or actively on the
opposition side in our country - sure makes you wonder dont it - but hey
follow the money trail and you probably dont need to wonder any more.
Cheers all
Lloyd Charles
