Of course if you have ever scene an Arab women without her Burka you would understand the popularity of goats, sheep and other farm animals.

Yasar Arafat would have been considered an attractive woman to most Arabs and was to many considering he died of AIDS.

"We are not going to implode. The groaning and straining you hear is America about to take a cataclysmic dump. When that stool is passed, the Taker class, bureaucrats, Muslims, Urban Ferals, Latrinos, ad nauseam - all will get a “Swirly” that will long be remembered."

I'd love to believe that. At any rate I can enjoy the mental image.

so you promote stealing other’s ideas and hard work because ‘the world’ is somehow entitled to it free of charge?

It takes 7 to 10 years to develop a new hybrid corn. That’s a lot of tractor work, a lot of water and a lot of sweat from farmers.

P.S. “dent” or field corn is pretty much inedible unless heavily processed.

Tough. You can characterize it all you want in the most negative terms you want. I don’t believe that things that can be done by nature are patent-able
