[Market-farming] My rant about rants

Come on You all!  Does it ever occur to you that there may be some of us out 
here who sometimes get weary about all the ranting that goes on on this list 
against all the things in this world that so many of us love to hate--GMOs, 
Monsanto, globilization, NAIS, WTO, Dennis Avery, and now Wal Mart? Yada 
Yada Yada!  Usually when these kinds of threads get started it isn't long 
till people are taking shots at one another.  Why can't we just be honest 
and admit that we all have a little of that lower human nature in us that 
harbers predjudice, bigotry, intolerance, and biased opinionated thinking 
that we like to accuse others outside of our circle of.

I am usually busy enough trying to keep up with the work that needs to get 
done, taking care of myself and the rest of the family, and if possible 
doing or saying something beneficial for friends and neighbors.  I don't 
have time for squalking about all the things that are wrong with this world 
when there is so much to be done to make this world a better place.  There 
is where I choose to devote most of my time and energy.

Now at my wife's urging I am going to stop and indulge myself in a bowl of 
fresh raspberries (grown and picked on my own place) and canned mandarin 
orange snits (Who wants to guess where they came from?).

An infrequent poster who usually posts when he wants to find out something 
or (hopefully) has something worth saying.
