What world are you living in? Only slightly more 1\4 of the US voting population tried to stop fascists from taking over even after the fascists said, "Hey, we're fascists, and we plan on getting super fascisty up in dis bitch!". Slightly less than 1\4 of the voting population actively worked to put the fascist in power and the remaining half gave the fascists 2 thumbs up and cheered them on. You are talking like this is some coup, but the US fucking invited them in and handed them the keys to the place. Even with all their tricks and lies and downright illegal activities, it wouldn't have meant shit if just a small percentage of the rest of the voting population had bothered to vote. So, even if we pretend that we are all Rambo and go on some single-handed "cleansing" of Washington, and we just murder the shit out of them without them lifting a finger to stop us. WTF is that going to do for us? They'll just be replaced by more monsters because that's what we chose.

If the bus went 600 miles an hour and every one on board might die because a duck decided to take flight at the wrong time? Then ya I think there would be some serious celebration every time the bus stopped.

Nah, you see this mission needs someone real smart. And when someone talks about smart people in smart professions, do you think about astronauts? No of course not. (Unless they are really really old astronauts, like geriatric, then yes.) instead you think about rough necks. That's right, you think of guys who drill holes in the ground.

Ranching buffalo is more trouble and cost over cows. It's sort of like trying to swap out your house cats for bobcats.

Shitty milk tastes shitty. I have no understanding why schepps continues to exist. It's like they have stripped everything that makes milk milk, and now just sell white water. I'm not a huge fan of Borden either, but that's just a taste prefer. At least Borden is still milk.
People who drink 2% or 1% milk? WTF are you even doing with your life? Whole milk is only 3 or 3.5%, so how much fucking milk are you drinking that 1% less fat is going to save your life? Do you dip your cookies in that shit? Why do you hate yourself? Did you know that fat slows your digestion? By removing fat from your milk and cookies or milk and cereal you're actually speeding up how fast the sugar hits your blood stream and increasing how concentrated it is going to be.
So, maybe you hate milk and cookies because you have been drinking shitty milk.

I... I don't think I'd be able to ever look someone in the eye again if I saw them eating any fruit like that.
And then I noticed your user name and realized that you are probably that bunny from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, so direct eye contact is probably not a good idea anyways...

I think as long as they throw a 10 lb bag of sugar down the hole before they start pumping then you don't have to worry about it accidentally becoming a diet Coke.

Just make sure you don't do anything that might cause severe and permanent damage like spritzing a little water on it.

What, are not grateful that they trickle down a tiny bit of money from what is left after the shareholders and CEO take their hard earned cut? Just because you did all the work and earned all of the money? How gready can you be? I mean they graciously let you be sick 6 days a year, and let you frolic for another 10. Don't you realize how much effort they had to put in worrying that the small smidgen of their enormous wealth that they had inherited and invested in your company was not earning them greater wealth at a rate that was grossly unhealthy for the company or the economy?

Does that include all the money "borrowed"from SS, or the interest that is supposed to be paid for the "borrowed" money?

Maybe Monsanto is as forgiving as you say, but I don't believe it. I think it is a lot more likely that the type of farmers insist on regrowing from their own seed are small independents who are too far in debt to even think about fighting. I think they took the first offer given to them because it was just a smidge under the quote given to them by the lawyer they went to see where they first got a letter from Monsanto.
Monsanto is not stupid, if they ask for too much the people will fight it and go even deeper into debt to pay the lawyer and by the time Monsanto gets their cut of the remaining carcass, they won't even make enough to cover the cost of their own lawyers. But if they make the price just a bit cheaper than the cost of fighting, the victims will hand over every penny that they can squeeze out and then go off to quietly die the slow death left to them in the NDA they had to sign to get the "deal" Monsanto offered.
Or maybe I am just jaded and a giant multinational corporation is doing the right thing for the right reasons and not taking advantage of anyone.
