[QUOTE="db-2, post: 151374, member: 4743"] Life is just not very simple as it once was but I assume that comes with age. There was a time my main concern was finding a bootlegger for beer and who I would end up that night with, now there are other concerns. We have created a lot of dependents on the government over the years. Putting the natives on reservation, half our population on food stamps and starting subsidies for farms back in I assume in the 1920 or 1930. Food is the basics of society and we need to protect that industry. At the same time it appears that we have no need to protect the local business from going out of business(unless there a big corporation). I have no problem with some of my tax dollars going to provide me with what is call cheap food. I do appreciate the food they raise. Maybe if the farmer/rancher would just do a better job of showing their appreciation to me for some of my tax dollars going there way. Farming /ranching is a way of life. The cow/calf man is a prime example of that. They are at the bottom of the totem pole with little subsidies. I do feel for them but it is there choice in life. All they ask for is a horse, a dog, a pickup in four different colors and a wife working in town. God bless them for the beef they give me to eat. db [/QUOTE]
