Ah, that's what it always comes down to: "I'm right and your wrong,
because I know where you get your information."
Well, I'm a member of Canadian Organic Growers, and attend monthly
meetings, seminars, and classes, and have been working on an area
farm plan with others in our community, with the goal of making our
island community self-sufficient in food within ten years. But I
guess I'm talking to the wrong farmers, then, because they don't seem
to be saying the same things YOUR farmer friends are saying.
We have a basic difference, Barry, one which we share with Moose: you
believe in commodities, I believe in localization. That's why I say
we must "agree to disagree." I don't try to make you look stupid.
Please give me the same respect.
