Rider, What you say is true, in the emotional world of life. Corporations and the justice system, don't have emotions. Corporations exist only for their bottom line, and the justice system works only for those, who have deep pockets. It makes no difference who or what, is right or wrong.

Couldn't agree more...
Going up against large corporations & govt is like going against the majority belief in the nation. Little to no effect... What we say or do is going to do little to influence change in our country (or abroad). The monster operates in a very different (cruel and unfair) fashion.
Things that are important in life are family, friends, and coming to an understanding that each of us individually must choose the right thing to do. Hopefully, when individuals commit to trying to be positive, respectful, and civil in their small settings, the overriding probelms of govt and large corporations seem miniscule to our everyday life.
Rider, my daughter called me on fathers-day and ask me a question, "dad why are you so hard-headed, everytime I did something wrong, mom always said, your just like your dad hard-headed". I answered her with all honesty of why, I'm the way I am. First I told her, that being hard-headed, was not a disease. This country stands on the shoulders of hard-headed men and women and she should be proud of who she is. Also understanding that through your life, you often stand alone, with few frends but the friends you have are true friends.
Rider, I don't want to go up against large corporations (for the very reason you have stated) little to no effect. I also don't want to go to Washington, DC and ask for their help (again for the same reasons you have stated) what I do want to do, is make a honest living, for my family and secure a future for my children and grand-children in the cattle industry, if that is the path they choose to follow.
In 1775, many young men and boys, fought for two things in this country, freedom and the hope of a better future, for themselves and their families and are we not all better off, because they did. I tell many young couples today, that if our fore-fathers gave up half as fast as we do, they would still be in St. Joseph, Missouri, saying West-Ward-Ho.
I understand those that don't want to fight, what I don't understand, is that those that choose not to fight, will not support those that are fighting for them, so they can have freedom and the hope for a brighter future.
I for one, am going to fight, for my family and neighbors future.
