Bhairitu: that really blew my mind when I moved here in 1992: Oregon is 2/3's desert! I had been coming all my life since I have relatives here (my mom was born here). But, all I ever saw was the western portion which is rain forest. When I moved here I started making service calls in central and eastern Oregon and just loved the contrast. While big pharma, ,big oil and big agra keeps buying our state and federal politicians, I think these con men have lost the battle. Oregon is a great place, east or west, but you are not even making any sense, Ultra - how are you going to provide reasonably priced food to your family without "big agra"; and how are you going to make service calls to earn money without "big oil"; and without laws passed by "federal politicians"? I'm all for eating good healthy food, but apparently you're living in a food desert. A food desert is defined as an area where affordable food is not available within walking distance of your home. You'd have to be rich to shop for pure organic food in a new car. Most poor people have to take a bus or walk miles to the nearest Safeway.
