[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1131776, member: 4362"] HDRider, I thought you knew me better than that. You know your country is screwed when you look to the French for examples on how to do things. Man did you open up a can of worms here. ;-) Do I believe in monopolies? No. Do I believe its the government's job to protect a brand? Yes, but only in civil court. I can grow Vidalia onions in my garden but legally I cannot call them that. Old man up the road used to grow them and sell them at his house. When the Dept of Ag got through with him he doesn't do it any more. Was he hurting anyone? I can't see where he was. Were they sweet? Yes. Are they the same - I couldn't tell them apart but a purist would say they don't taste the same. Supposedly there is something in the soil that makes them sweeter in that area but I don't know if they are any sweeter than Gleenville Sweets which is another sweet onion grown right up the road from Vidalia. Since the name of Vidalia is a brand I don't think it right to steal someone's brand but I don't see it as the government's job to act as owner or enforcer of the brand but it is what it is and how I see it; since Delbert Bland chose to drink the Kool Aid and reap the benefits of the brand he is also obligated to pi$$ red when things aren't so good. People forget that the government does something for you it also controls you. In this case he gave up his freedom when he joined the monopoly. You can't have it both ways. JMO [/QUOTE]
