I guess it is fair for me to assume that you don't agree the the government
paying some NOT to grow wheat or NOT to raise pigs so that those that DO can
survive on a reasonable profit margin and not be flooded by over production
creating too much product for not enough demand...?

Your assumption is correct. Using your example of wheat, if you let free
markets operate, then farmers who couldn't survive growing wheat would stop
growing wheat and switch to a crop that would make them more money. I
believe that all government subsidies should be eliminated and that we

That's a naive thought, especially in a global economy where many
governments subsidize.
But this really isn't the place for politics, right?

America wants cheap food. Period. In the past, cattle took better than 30
months to reach slaughter weight on grass. Under current industrialized agricultural
methods cattle can go from birth to the meat case in less than 12 months.
Its very similar for chickens, hogs or any other common
I personally beleive it should be the local cities taking the loans from the

Hi all,
When I met with Durbin's staff at the end of July, we talked a lot about
provisions 1 & 3 that are now in the bill. However, I've also just learned that
there may be a poison pill in the bill that makes unlicensed use of the TV
broadcast spectrum illegal (which is also something that
Butch... It's all nice and great to think that a little bit of money can go

I had the same problem... Good grounding is the key. Make sure all
brackets for the antenna's and the antenna's themselves are all grounded
well. That helped me tremendously.

I'm not 100% sure, but my first inclination would be no. If lightning

surge suppression in place, it will get blown, whether it is powered up
or not. Current is still going to flow through the radio; it just won't

Hey Brian,
You should have a lightning arrestor between the antenna and radio, well grounded to the tower, also an arrestor between the radio and your red barn, well grounded. That should protect the radio as well as can be.

I agree with you - Subsidies aren't just hand outs so some hayseed
farmer can sit on the porch all day spittin redman at the dog. Its much
more clever and insidious than that. Americans spend tax $$ on
Agricultural Subsidies and get to eat crap, sometimes literally, for
their investment.
I read your statement... I'm not disagreeing, particularly with the
sentiment, just the reasoning. And, suggesting an alternative.
