Big Business lobbies the Big Government to prosecute, and because Big Government's pols love the money and gifts Big Business showers over them, Big Government does Big Business' bidding by going after Small business, who doesn't have that "special relationship" with Big Government that Big Business does...because both the Bigs are bed partners who mutually please one another. Big Business love having Big Government around, to eliminate the competition, and Big Government loves Big Business, in that Big Business can afford to keep Big Government well-monied. Neither work for the public's good, Neil. In the Wisconsin dairy case; the farmer was not pawning off raw milk as a pasteurized product (against state and federal regs); he sold clearly communicated raw milk. He also didn't sell to the general public; he sold only to a select clientele who knew exactly what they were buying, and were buying it specifically because it was raw. Big Dairy thought this might be an idea which could eventually undercut its pasteurized milk business; thus, it was deemed necessary to step upon freely conducted business "in the name of public safety"...which was demonstrated was a crock of a motive in the first place, so then the production license angle was tried. Again, this was rejected by the people. Neil, you really don't understand the true nature of the relationship between big business...each and every Big Business...and your beloved Big Government, do you? You mean....*I* didn't say that???? I thought I had..... Nevertheless, in this case, are YOU implying that Big Business should dictate policy thru Big Government and what the State should uphold or are you lamenting that Government should look out for the 'little guy' and standards be damned? Does this mean that you are more interested in Big Business providing people to be appointed to government positions favorable to Big Business....or does this mean that you prefer the independent little guy, whose radical methods that are enviormentally friendly/socially justified are documented safe for the public under conditional conditions?

Ted Oplinger Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 You mean *YOU* were saying just what I was saying, but in different words? There's *HOPE* for you yet, Neil!! You're beginning to think *JUST.LIKE.ME* Blessings, brother!
