Does the CWB wish it were true that the Board themselves were legislated to pay the CWB's national Licensing costs instead of the Feds being legally legislated to pay them?

C.P.,

I got it before Parsley posted... !!! We were laughing Lucy and I!

as far as i'm concerned say whatever you want. it's fun to vent or raise a few hackles but in the end, as my son says, cyberfighting is for wimps (not his exact word but you know what i mean).

CP:

Your comment:

"Censorship is a slippery slope"
is particularly acute at this time in grain marketing/farming.

Glad there are clever young farmers out there. They have to be.

And who is going to decide if the "basis" is valid AS?

If I feel I deserve the freedom to control my own destiny as well as the freedom to enjoy my own property, who on this earth should be able to decide that my feelings are not valid and should be suppressed?

Who ever said that one could roll through life without ever getting their feelings hurt or having someone disagree with what they say?

You may be happy to give your freedom of choice away to somebody else, but I am not

Actually the some of complaints about personal attacks here come from the moderators. We don't find that personal attacks accomplish anything. In fact, they are counter productive. Even after the site's comments higher up in this thread, there are still a couple of comments that are on the edge.

Remember that the owners of this site have the power to block anyone's participation and that has happened recently.

Now whose feelings are being hurt?L.O.L. It's okay to cry S.

Lee...

Would you expect anything less from a group of "Cutting edge/goofy" farmers that are self absorbed enough... and having enough fun; to keep this forum a great provider of INFO?

I accept the chastisement, melvill, and wholeheartedly deserve it.

As well, farmers need to be herded into occassional submission, whenever they stray from their learned "meeker and milder" role in agriculture, and the ones like me, who have a natural penchant for rebelliousness, particularly need a both a verbal and a written whack.

I do try to maintain some degree of civility, but I do admit that the recent posts which reflected my spirited clinical-reasoning laden with truth, overode my finger-pointing containment.

(A thought exercise).

Perhaps I can plead too much birthday wine.

I mixed red with white wine. Do you suppose that particular concoction released suppressed emotion?

I don't know if I can learn/live/ the bah bah lifestyle even if I concentrate and practice.

I'll try

But was it organic wine?
