I'll have to digest that one for awhile.

I think most people don't like to brag about their help to charity. I know Jesse Helms is considered the devil by many liberals but I once caught a story about how he adopted a boy knowing the kid had a pressing need for surgery so he could walk and Helms paid the many tens of thousands for the surgery out of his own bank account.

I would would have to say Conagra is where principle kicks in with me. I wouldn't own their stock for all the ginseng in China. I guess I wouldn't own all the ginseng in China either!

Someone once told me that Conagra had shipped up management to our Central Wisconsin plant from Oklahoma, where the norm is for management to step all over the rank and file. Didn't go over up here. They even had to hire a round the clock secuity guard for the place.

Even in the jungle you have army ants that go on a rampage every few decades and destroy everything. I've seen them in action in Colombia. Nothing to trifle with.
