[env-trinity] SacBee Viewpoint: Northern California

[sandydenn@pulsarco.com]

Perhaps before pasting the "Greed" label on all of these parties, one should become better informed of the costs, regulations, fees and sacrifices made by California agriculturists.  It sounds as though all you commentors assume that your food is produced 100% by huge corporate entities living in the lap of luxury, just waiting for the next big paycheck to arrive.  We are not all innocence and light as an industry, but many of us are just hard working, hands-on farmers who have found it necessary to "sell" a portion of our allocation to fund the costs of environmentalism, development and "Greed" for idealism. I wouldn't even have responded if you all hadn't jumped onto this bashing band wagon and tend to paint with such a wide brush, figuring you are entitled to your opinion.  But please recognize the fact that farmers who are incorporated are not all greedy corporate giants just salivating over the next big "water deal"  they can make.  Sandy Willard Denn, Hands-on farmer

  Water is hardly a one-party issue. Greed is bi-partisan. 



  Greed is one of the universals of our world.

  Thank you Joshua and Mark, What a dilemma for liberal-conservationist CA voters !!! If we elect a Republican, we empower someone who vows never to compromise or cost the top One Percent a single dime. Or, vote for Dianne, and give a couple of them billions of those single dimes.

  Nothing new here. Don't look behind the curtain. Keep walking... 


  What are we to expect from Feinslime? The 5th richest senator who has a net worth of $75 million doesn't represent the interest of the state or the people; she knows where her butter is spread. She's got to grease those wheels, you know, so she can stay in power, and represent the wealth elite getting theirs and handing US the bill. 


  It would be nice to get her out of office. She only represents the rich. But that was the plan when they approved the 17th Amendment and took the power of state appointment for senatorial office!
