[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 620694, member: 4362"] I agree with you wholeheartedly about the government needing to stick to the constitution and stay out of our affairs. However, I don't know how well you remember the grain embargo imposed by Jimmy Carter. In his attempt to punish the soviet union for (this is ironic) their invasion of Afghanistan, he halted grain sales and tried to use food as a weapon. So as long as big brother is willing to play politics with our products how can one hope to make a living? BTW - you couldn't give the grain away and you couldn't sell it. You had to put it in storage and borrow against it and pay the government rent on storage and interest on the loan. Now that doesn't sound fair to me. [/QUOTE]
