I was reading them and am interested. Keep it going if it is allowed.
I'm still wondering what "Lincoln freeing the slaves" had to do with anything. It's like backhoe said, after I read that, I disregarded and jumped to the next thread. But now I'm wondering just what in the hades that was all about...
I still haven't read the rest of the post...when I see that kind of nonsense I can't bring myself to do it. So, maybe it's my bad for not reading it before I ask this question...but I'd still like to know...

Alice, if you would, take another look at what BAGTIC said about Lincoln, and see if my take on it makes any sense... It may, or may not..
My take is that he's simply saying "Lincoln freed the slaves" to point out that farmers aren't being forced into producing mass quantities of food.. Had I wanted to make the point he made, I might have said "Not exactly. Nobody's got a gun to our heads. It is a choice."
I'm not trying to defend his statement, as I personally think it was in poor taste -- however! -- I don't think it was explicitly meant to bring slavery, the use thereof, who abolished it and why, etc., into the debate about cheaply produced, mass quantities of food.
I could be wrong, though..

Yeah, I can see that...and yeah, it was in poor taste.
Thanks,
