| Message | We see no reason to intrude on farmers going about their business. As long as they list the chemicals they use, the informed consumer will use that information to make the right choice. Such is the way of the free market. |

| Random quote: "The first step in freeing yourself from social restrictions is the realization that there is no such thing as a 'safe' code of conduct, one that would earn everyone's approval. Your actions can always be condemned by someone, for being too bold or too apathetic, for being too conformist or too nonconformist, for being too liberal or too conservative. So it's necessary to decide whose approval is important to you." - Harry Browne |
