    Two fine articles! I’m encouraged that the perception is spreading that the brucellosis issues is really about maintaining the power and privileges of the cattle industry.

    Keep spreading the word!

‎"At some point we must draw a line across the ground of our home and our being, drive a spear into the land and say to the bulldozers, earthmovers, government and corporations, “thus far and no further.” If we do not, we shall later feel, instead of pride, the regret of Thoreau, that good but overly-bookish man, who wrote, near the end of his life, “If I repent of anything it is likely to be my good behaviour."

~ Edward Abbey
