    Thought this was good

    I bought a bird feeder. I hung it on my back porch and filled it with seed. What a beauty of a bird feeder it was, as I filled it LOVINGLY with seed. Within a Week we had hundreds of birds Taking advantage of the Continuous flow of Free and Easily accessable food.

    But then the birds started building nests in the boards of the patio, above the table, and next to the BBQ.

    Then came the poop. It was Everywhere: on the patio tile, the chairs, the table, Everywhere.

    Then some birds Turned mean. They would dive bomb me and try to Peck me even though I had Fed them out of my own POCKET.

    And other birds were Boisterous and loud. They sat on the feeder and Squawked and screamed at all hours of the day and night and demanded that I fill it when it got low on food.

    After a while, I couldn't even sit on my OWN back porch Anymore. So I took down the Bird feeder and in three days The birds were gone. I cleaned Up their mess and took down The many nests they had built All over the patio.

    Soon, the backyard was like It used to be...Quiet, serene...And no one demanding their RIGHTS to a free meal.

    Now let's see...Our gov't gives out free food, subsidized housing, Free medical care and free Education, and allows anyone Born here to be an automatic Citizen.

    Then the illegals came by the tens of thousands. Suddenly Our taxes went up to pay for Free services; small apartments are housing 5 families; you Have to wait 6 Hrs. to be seen by an emergency room doctor; Your child's second grade class is Behind other schools because Over half the class doesn't speak Emglish.

    Corn Flakes now come in a Bilingual box; I have to 'press one' to hear my bank Talk to me in English, and People waving flags other Than our flag are Squawking and screaming In the streets, demanding more rights and free liberties.

    Just my opinion, but maybe it's time for Gov't To take down the bird feeder.

    If you don't agree keep cleaning up the poop.

    Sounds alot like our Cheap food policy. Majority wants cheap food but; no GMO's, no pesticides, no herbicides, don't care where it comes from and wants farmers to bare all costs and hastles while supporting all aspects of industry.

    wmoebis,

    Looks like you have discovered what the CWB does to my farm!

    Perhaps just move the bird feeder to an area that will not cause these issues... that you can watch from a hundred feet or so... and that will fertilize the flower bed instead of the house/deck!

    We can learn to get along... as humans are folks with a soul... and a kind heart best serves us... it is very nice to see creation lively in all it's beauty!

    Birds are good for us!

        The CWB is not there to serve farmers, wil, they are there for two reasons:
        1. To serve as a government instrument(Flour priced low to keep down inflation,International backroom deals, cheap food aid)
        2. To finacially support CWB staff.

        Farmers are only necessary for SUPPLY. Nothing else. Pars

          You got it parsley. CWB are bureaucrats given the responsibility to make the annual crop go away. Their personal investments in the industry are merely the costs they incurred seeking CWB employment. Why anyone thinks they are motivated to compete with the big boys in the grain trade is beyond me.

                WM..I guess you either believe in the laws of supply and demand or you don't. The big boys need you for supply and you need them to move stuff around. They've got the elevators, cars, barges, ships, etc needed to move grain but they need you to grow it. It would be counterproductive for them to destroy the primary producer. My guess it that in the last few decades more production has moved into the area of the free market than the CWB.
