I can see where you're coming from. Slavery, sexism, the treatment of the Irish, Chinese, Women, Native Americans and every other minority in our history. Corruption, cronyism, nepotism. However, there were, and even are, a great many things about this nation that were unique and incredible. I

We never really were. The truth is that is only a line in a speech. It's a nice, catchy phrase, but it has no standing in law, and has certainly never been the way the government has been run. On Mon, Apr 2, 2012 at 7:08 PM, LRS Scout wrote: > > The federal government is compromised in general.

There is a lot of lobbying done by agribusiness. Monsanto alone spent over six million in lobbying last year alone. Deere, Archer Daniels and numerous others spent over a million. The lobbying total for agribusiness is only about 50% of what Big Phama spent, but it's still enough to buy plenty o

The only way to avoid being a victim of the corporate ownership of the FDA is to only food you grow yourself in soil that you know is not contaminated, and refuse to take any drugs produced by Big Pharma. If you want a real eye opener look at the drugs Plavix, Metaformin and Nexium - three of the
