Now let me get back to the Desmond Tutu quote that got you all bent out of shape.
The quote was about injustice.
It was a statement of general principle and it is as valid on smaller injustices as it is on larger ones. Stealing $100 from someone is worse than stealing $10 but at the end of the day its still stealing and its still an injustice.
No, I don't think the injustice done to western farmers is equivalent to Apartheid in South Africa. You are the one who made that leap. The fact that other people around the world face, or have faced, worse injustices does not erase the wheat board one. This thing costs me tens of thousands of dollars every year(I'm being conservative here)and I'm sick and tired of people trying to tell me its really no big deal that your wheat is not really your wheat. Well it is a big deal, to me, and to thousands of other farmers.
You want us to shut up? Well we will when this is finally over. The end is in sight, but its not over yet.
