Forage Seed Market Freedom

[Fransisco]

So lets' see according to tower the CWB gets price premiums and parsley is lowering the level of debate.

What do these two things have in common?

We are supposed to take hisher word on it despite all evidence to the contrary.

[Fransisco]

Speaking of contridictions.

How is it that someone who claims to be a long time member suddenly has no idea where the lines of debate get drawn on this site?

[tower]

Fransisco, perhaps you could go back over my posts and point out where I said the cwb gets premiums. There is such a thing as serving the agenda til you lose track of what's going on.

[tower]

highwayman, thanks for the advice I will pass it on to parsley.

[parsley]

Here's your statement, tower:


"However I think that we have a better chance with that kind of thing than with companies that have an even bigger tendancy to be self serving and more corrupt than a farmer elected board."

Now, I consider that pretty much accusatory.

How about you?

Parsley

[tower]

Parsley, I'd have to say that you are insignificant.. If the Moderators are content that you have used the best judgement available to you to ensure a healthy atmosphere for debate on these forums who am I to argue with them.

[parsley]

True.

But you have argued that directors on Corporations are more corrupt than farmer-elected directors.

That is ....er......accusatory....er....
even defamatory, in my kit of word-tools.

Do you think an apology to corporation directors might be in order, especially since we are in the process of registering falsetto indignation, as you have so ably prompted.

Parsley

[Fransisco]

Now who's the one getting personal with the name calling?

I just talked about your ideas and attitude.

[parsley]

an oversight....

if I possibly should have better used the term "castrato indignation"

[Fransisco]

Gee now lets see about those posts of tower's where he talks about wheat board premiums... how's about any one of these?

"Despite having these problems I still think that it would be a serious loss to the independance and strength of western farmers if we were to lose it."

and the main one...

"We've had to deal through the board through all these yers of low grain prices and I expect we've been better off than if we had not had them. Prices would have been lower yet."

[Fransisco]

So tower when you say <b>"and I expect we've been better off than if we had not had them"</b> do you really mean the opposite?

Or have you now after having reviewed some actual evidence changed your mind and come to realize the CWB is costing you money not making it for you?

[tower]

Fransisco, I did say that and I think it's true. I've also said that we haven't gotten them in recent years. I expect that part of the problem is the unnecessary compromises made in favour of those who do not want the board. By changing the mandate of the board cost of service would have to go up and in trying to minimize that impact I expect efficiency has gone down.
