RE: [compost_tea] NOP whose side are they on?



<Consumers Union believes that Congress must stop entertaining requests from special interests to cash in on the USDA Organic label and that the USDA must become a strict steward of how the label is used. Consumers want and need an organic label they can trust.>
 
Unfortunately, this hoped for trust of the consumer is going to be further sullied and discombobulated by our government that is already 95% special interest. Our government of  "of, by, and for the people" is now "of, by, and for the corporation". We've gone from the World's Great Hope to a corporate democracy and I don't hold out hope of this changing anytime soon. See the World Trade Organization for what direction this country, and the world, is headed.
 
Does that mean that I don't think that the USA is the greatest country in the world? No. I do. But we are losing ground fast to the kind of corporate demeanor that this article describes, both here and around the world.
 
Does that mean that I'm giving up? Nope. I'm still working for taking back our country from the scoundrels that claim to be doing their corporate deeds 'for the good of mankind' (see Monsanto). As are many people in this country. It is the faith shown by so many clear-thinking, alternative news seeking, activist focused, I-Don't-Believe-What-They-Tell-Me-On-TV people that keep me from disappearing into the woods! The people on this list can be counted in this group!
 
Do we continue to keep lopping off the branches of this problem or do we go to the root? Until the people take back their own government by DEMANDING, in the STRONGEST SENSE of that word, campaign finance reform laws, then we will continue to be the beggars and not the people of this union that our founders envisioned.
 
And yeah, Tom, it makes me angry.......you asked!
 
So which character from the Wizard of OZ does Gov. Bush most represent? Maybe his needs match all of them? Yeah....Governor is still the last title he earned.....he is not our elected President! (I may have to explain that to our local Homeland Security Militia....)
 
wooooo,,,,,,that felt good!
