Bob, you are right, I try to stay out of political talk in
general as I'm on the list to glean homesteading
knowledge.
From a food standpoint, and an egg farmer, I'm very aware
of NAIS and how it's pushing small farmers around. But my
understanding of APHIS is limited, from my friend in plant
pathology research, not my field. Maybe I'm naive, and
only looking at botanical proctection from the sense of
keeping plant disease and insects out of the country. I
suppose Homeland Security could involve the feeding of
people, but then that should require agronomists.
I see all of this largely driven by corporate greed of the
Monsantos who have undoubtedly benefitted from NAIS and
eight years of Bush politics. The last I'd heard the NAIS
thing was dead. What happened?
