What is the background of the MN ag college adminstration and how much of
their funding comes from "life science" companies? Appears they have
paraphrased Earl's line into "Get Corporate Mainsteam or Get OUT".
What better strategy than deprive farmer of the information about changing
to sustag and what better time for a coup than during spring planting
season when the program's likely supporters are in the field doing prep and
planting.
This just might illustrate the earlier post on Rules.
...before a knife fight, Paul Newman approaches his opponent to discuss the
"rules." The opponent, in disbelief, questions "Rules! -- in a knife
fight!?" at
which point Newman kicked him squarely in the groin and said "There are
no rules."
Same applies to our corporte funded universities too? Mike Miller
