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!
