PT Barnum, you really ought to go back to your job at Pravda. Don't they miss you?

"Ironically, it was probably the CEO of that large American corporate farm whom Bush fed with scallops wrapped in bacon, shrimp and lobster; while GOPwingers make light of a few Wisconsin homeless folks who were given cigarettes in the course of a conversation by a Democrat asking them if they'd like to vote?"

Not sure how to reply. Family farms are still in our family. I think you mistake homeless for helpless.

Keep dancing.

Wow are you ever out of touch with reality. At least 80% of all farming and ranching is done by small scale private farming operations in the United States.

Do you really think Willie Nelson is in touch with the average farmer in America? I think when Willie's tour bus pulls out across the great divide he is probably too stoned to look out the tinted windows. Most likely for those long hauls he takes a corporate jet.

It is these classic comments from you demolibs that shine a light on what you really know and where you are really coming from.

re:Gordon, I think you're forgetting that conservative farming policies have taken the farms from the small farmer..

Like Tyson Foods?

The decline in the number of family farms is
tightly linked to the death/estate tax. So,
I assume you are supporting its repeal?
