Just dropped in looking for a court report!! I'm sure everything will go Bov's way....

FDA....Pay enough and do whatever you want...U.S. Citizens be damned...I'm just about sick of that sheet....I demand safe food....clean water and air??? I demand that too....Corruption is in all levels of government...RICO/Racketeering charges anyone???? 3/4 of all politicians would pull time...and they damn well should be locked up...after the beating.....

Still gaining organic knowledge by the day....My arsenal now includes a perpetual soil mix that requires only water for the strongest plants possible...A little leg work will pay off big time in the end....I'm also the newest worm farmer in Dixie....Last week I laughed when told soon I'd have a worm farm....Disposing of all my synthetic nutes...Live soil and water from here on out....

Yay on your deck Fran!!

Yes Moon, it was a bit uncomfortable with him on a big screen in the court room. It was a surprise to me that he didn't even try to be polite to the judge. No "Your Honor" or "ma'am" from him...his answers were "yeah, I got it" type language. But it's done, and that's all that matters!

Verm, not even a sore .... ;)

Thank you all!! We now return you to your previously scheduled chatter :wub:

El Dee you might be interested in this Princeton paper that came out a few days ago.

https://www.princeton.edu/~mgilens/...ens and Page 2014-Testing Theories 3-7-14.pdf

What do our findings say about democracy in America? They certainly constitute
troubling news for advocates of “populistic” democracy, who want governments to respond
primarily or exclusively to the policy preferences of their citizens. In the United States, our findings indicate, the majority does not rule -- at least not in the causal sense of actually
determining policy outcomes. When a majority of citizens disagrees with economic elites and/or
with organized interests, they generally lose. Moreover, because of the strong status quo bias
built into the U.S. political system, even when fairly large majorities of Americans favor policy
change, they generally do not get it.
