The Earmarks of a Cult.

Most cults have intelligent, charismatic and articulate leaders.

R-calf has intelligent, charismatic and articulate leaders.

In most cults, money flows upward from the rank and file membership to the leaders.

In R-calf, money flows upward from the rank and file membership to the leaders.

Most cults make use of a "boogey man" of some sort in order to scare the membership into giving up their money and their free thought.

R-calf makes use of many "boogey mans" in order to scare the membership into giving up their money and their free thought.

.......If it walks like a duck............

I'd disagree with that analogy! It doesn't take a lot of intelligence to contradict yourself.

That is tue so I will add this........

Most cult leaders know they have no credibility with people outside the cult.... and they don't care.

R-calf leaders know they have no credibility with people outside the cult.... and they don't care.

There, that's more like it. LOL!


SH: "It doesn't take a lot of intelligence to contradict yourself."

That statement was in regards to R-CALF, not to your analogy. I'm sure you realized that Tim.

Hey BMR, Do you still beat your wife?

Of course you don't. That is a question that cannot be answered because you didn't do that, right?

So, in response to your "similarly idiotic" question, NO they didn't. I was able to formulate an opinion all by myself. And the beauty of it all, I don't have to pay a checkoff fee to get an opinion. :roll:

Oh Yeah,.....CLASS DISMISSED.

Hey Chief-a-rooni,
You should have quit with this...
"Isn't this cute? Two members of Mrs. Allen's Special ed class playing together. And look, they're talking to each other. It's almost like they understand what the other is saying. Isn't that just SOOOOO cute."

It was clever and funny. I laughed my a$$ off. Ya kinda lost it after that.
Have you "bought" any calves at a "rollover auction" lately??? Sent any cheques to Billings??? :)

There is a growing movement in the U.S. against globalization and its negative impacts.

If some of you Canadians are not careful, these issues may cause you more harm than the blue tounge/border issues have.

Sometimes shortsightedness is harmful.

econ: There is a growing movement in the U.S. against globalization and its negative impacts.

i really doubt that the negative feeling against globalization is coming from the people with the power to make or break globalization. globalization started centuries ago and picked up steam with the m&a's of the '80s. the usa needs the resources of the rest of the world and has the money to invest to make it happen. you might be outsourcing jobs now but if you brought all your investments home you'd have even more unemployment. sometimes shortsightedness is harmful.

Don, you may not have picked this up, but I am a free trader. The problem I have is the rules that are being laid currently so the traders are the only ones who come out on top. There are some strategic reasons this is dangerous and I have laid out but a few.

I sat on the plane the other day with a man from India who is in IT. He has a good job here in the US programming. Trade is not a bad thing. Some of the rules we have with them are.

The EU doesn't want to give up on farm subsidies in Europe, and the U.S. doesn't want to give up on them in the U.S. That leaves producers in the third world dealing with an uneven playing field when it comes to trade (This is Oxfam's argument). The "traders" are the ones winning in this game, not the producers.

so tell me when there was ever free trade. the more powerful country (the usa for the past sixty years) rarely wants free trade. they always want to use their power to their advantage and they do. any time you have two unequal parties to the negotiation there is an advantage and the usa has used their power very well but it appears to not be working as well the last few years so perhaps you just perceive that trade isn't as fair as it used to be.

Don, I think some of the things the US has done because it "could" have been totally unfair. You are right, the US pushes its weight around to the detriment of other producers/national policies. I have pointed some of them out.
