Nearly two years ago...after our false FMD outbreak....fat cattle were worth $62.00/cwt. With our droughts...cow calf people threw in the towel...sold their cows and calves....and now, they have lost out completely. I am very sad tonight. They didn't deserve to be dealt a hand they could not deal with, just like you folks in the U.K. Commercial interests have taken us all over. No use fighting the bastards. I can't fight people like Carol T. Crawford. She'll sell me out in a heartbeat. Zoellick will too. So did Uncle Billy Boy Clinton..and our own President. I said I am apolitical..but by God, these bastards running our governments policies affect us all...you in the UK and us in America. We all deserve some honesty for a change. Are these people in the UK and the USA, supposedly speaking for all of us, answerable to us? That answer is "no." By God, they will answer some questions from now on. I am quite willing to ask, are you?
