Market Farming

[sunnfarm AT netscape.net]

You organic folks asked for these regulations and when they were not tough 
enough you petitioned for tougher regs. Now some folks are complaining the 
regs are too tough. Well you got what you asked for. There is nothing the US 
government does better than invent regulations, but every new regulation 
chips away at our freedoms.

I dont think any member of this list need be certified, you gray haired folks 
might remember something called the golden rule. Rule 1 was; "honesty is the 
best policy", if you tell me you grew it organically then I have no reason to 
not believe you. Unless your a creep of course.

For some of you who bitch and moan about the corperatizing of the term 
organic, where were you when this whole certification process began?, why did 
you sit back and allow your most precious asset, your "organic", be taken 
away. Wasn't there 200000 last minute petitions calling for the banning of 
GMO's from organics? well why wasn't there 200000 petitions keeping the term 
organics in the hands of small farmers?...Bob.
