    Not in a million years would I say that you alone could change the world. I will however argue till I'm blue in the face or cold in the ground, that if more people dropped that attitude and ALL voiced their opinions, we could change whatever we wanted.

    Don't tell me that you gave up either. If you don't want change or don't care anymore, why do you do so much bitching on here about the sad state of the union? Alot of what you write is great stuff, and most of the time I'm in agreement with your political views and those of others on here. BUT, WHAT'S THE SENSE IN WHINING TO ONE ANOTHER? Whine to your MLA, MP, Councillor, Reeve, whatever!!! Any politician you want to contact has their e-mail address on the internet. They're easy to find, and take no more time than you spend on here.

    For goodness sake, when my 3 year old boy whines that his spoon fell on the floor, do I let him sit there and cry over and over about it because nothing can be done? NO! I tell him to get down off of his chair and pick it up! If you want to sit in your chair and keep whining over and over, fine! Go ahead! I'll get up and try to do something!

      PureCountry I think you are being a little harsh. When anyone posts a concern about a particular issue on this site it gives the rest of us food for thought and perhaps an initiative to get the ball rolling to do something about it.

        FOOD FOR THOUGHT is exactly what I had in mind.

          Food for thought is usually ideas, issues etc. put forward in a manner that challenges the reader to mull it over.

            OK, in a way that 'challenges' your mind, without being critical, cynical, negative, offensive, or otherwise plain rude, I'll try to explain what I'm getting at here.....

            ...I've been on this site for over 3 years, and in that time I have not kept track or count of how many times the regular users have argued, bickered, or debated THE SAME positions, views, or opinions. However, if I were to wager a guess at how many times we've done that, I'd have to say...um...somewhere in the area of....TOO DAMN MUCH! So, after a while, for lack of a more challenging term to illustrate it for you, I GET SICK OF IT. Don't you?

            I agree with you 100% - as I said before - that there is alot of good content on here. Some of the contributors here post fabulous stuff, we all know who they are, but why do we whine about how things are, or how we'd like them to be, if we're not going to try and change it?

            If I get some more time, I'll post some e-mail addresses. If anyone wants to use them, great. I'll admit though, I've never gotten much satisfaction from any letters I've sent. I've gotten farther from phone calls or talking face to face.

              I see nothing wrong with a healthy exchange of ideas PureCountry.For instance, cowman and I don't agree on some issues, but we do agree on many others, if any of the discussion on this site bothers me I just don't log in.

                Well purecountry, I try to see how the other guy thinks...and without a doubt I like to stir the pot once in awhile!
                And hey...whatever works!
                That doesn't mean I take nothing away from here. I get a few ideas and consider others...so I think that is a good thing!
                It always amazes me how the farmer/rancher keeps hanging in there despite overwhelming odds! In fact it always amazes me that I do!
                Believe it or not I am fairly content with my life and happy to be here. I have few illusions on where agriculture is going...but then that really won't affect me...I lived in the good times and it was fun. Now I'm just playing out the hand that was dealt to me.
                It does bug me though that there are so few young people coming up? And I for one sure don't blame them...but it still bugs me!
