Faster Horses...Thinking customers will pay more for 'USA' labelling is a pipe dream a lot of people need to wake up from.
I am sure your husband owns a few tools. Are they the cheap imported ones or are they the higher priced American made ones like Snap-On, MAC, or Sears? If you have ever used a cheap wrench on a tight bolt you probably wouldn't buy another one. |
To compare a cheap inferior product such as Chinese or Taiwanese tools in a discussion about labeling a product of equal quality to American such as Canadian beef doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
Compare the same tools made in Germany or Sweden with the same warranty and I would buy them ahead of American based on quality even if they cost more.

Hat: "This is for anyone but ~SH~ because i'm sure no one with a personality like his could ever get married but do ya'lls wives get on you like mine for being on here?"
I'm sorry you are offended by my lack of tolerance for lies and deception.
Are you still sore because you asked a question regarding trade that you thought I couldn't answer and when I did answer it, you had nothing to contradict what I stated? Oh well, you'll get over it.
Once again, prior to the closed Canadian border due to BSE and the corresponding loss of our export markets, we had a $1.3 Billion dollar trade surplus for a seven year average in the combined trade of beef, beef variety meats, live cattle, and hides with foreign countries. Why don't you appreciate finding out the truth on this issue rather than blindly believing that NAFTA has been detrimental to this industry???
Just because you can't contradict anything I have presented with opposing facts, don't take it so personal. You aren't the first one who has attempted to defend R-CULT's bullsh*t against the facts and came up empty handed.

Just so you know, Hat, Ive only got one wife and she leaves what I do strictly up to me.
Polygamy must be a bear.

Sandhusker, I have read many of those points about changing agriculture as being desired by some of the liberal outfits R-CALF aligned with, as well as other groups linked with them, often in their own press releases and literature.
There is no lack of credibility to anyone who has been concerned about such groups for many years.
AFF was founded because of the need to learn as much as possible about anti-animal agriculture groups. Certainly I as a cattle rancher need to know who is trying to end my business. I would think you, as an ag banker, would as well.
Reader 2, do you believe it is wrong for a researcher/journalist such as Ditmer to have an organization supported by businesses involved in enterprises being attacked by these activist groups?
If so, why is it ok for activist groups to be subsidized by Foundations?
Do you realize many of these activist groups are linked together with directors, benefactors, funding sources, and that many of the "top dogs" personally make huge amounts of money through their activism and contracting with activist groups for various "work".
Certainly you have the right to choose whom you wish to believe.
I have the right to doubt you are omniscient about who is honestly trying to find accurate answers to problems, and who is using any tactic they can dream up to return us to a peasant agricultural system.
