Because through discovery - their practices would be exposed. <BR/><BR/>And why is $25 million in pork attached to a War Bill? <BR/><BR/>Your excuse or at least attempt at an excuse is the same knee jerk reaction that is expected from the industry concerning food safety. "Not our fault" "But compensate us Uncle Sam"<BR/><BR/>Considering Pelosi and the Democrats "vowed to end the cycle of pork expenditures" and "favoritism" - clearly they are hypocrits and you don't like your lying "party" to be held accountable. I see American politics escapes you.<BR/><BR/>And "conservative" small c is an ideology, not a political party.

The spinach farmers were not aware there was an issue caused by other farmers' unsustainable practices, (although the cattle farmers who leased them the land may have been). Unless you wish to countenance increased use of bleaches as a post-cropping and uncontrolled additive to human food the solution is to prevent the problem at source. <BR/><BR/>Blind partisanship and the distortion of reality to support a political agenda is clearly not just the preserve of lunatics, bigots and radicals.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
