Add land grant colleges and you get the big picture.

Grain can be stored for many years. Remember the stories about Joseph telling the pharoh to store enough grain for the coming 7 years of famine? So why does’t Care take our gift of grain and simply store it until needed? Seems like there is always a famine happening somewhere in the world when the local farmers can’t grow a crop. Like I said, this is more to do about getting money out of us than it is about feeding the hungry with our donated grain.

"Charity protecting capitalism? or is it a charity protecting a despot using food as a weapon."

BING BING BING BING BING!!!!! We have a winner!!!

I had some friends who worked in the peace corp in the 60's. They told me how they would break into the warehouse where all the food from care was being stored (and eaten by rats) and steal powdered milk to feed starving babies of the families they were working with.

The land grant colleges are a thing of the past it’s all about property and so called school taxes now. They don’t raise taxes they just re-evaluate your property every year. That guy with the stovepipe hat and thin, pointy mustache from the old movies seems to be in control of our nation now.

because the starving mob will rob it, the corrupt guards will sell it. (not many can read “NOT FOR SALE”)

This is about protecting the dictators using food as weapon.
