No no no...it all starts with the farm subsidies that drive the Iowa caucuses. dkf Dec 2012 #12

cargill and adm control corn production in the us and in the world. and get most of the subsidies. HiPointDem Dec 2012 #13

So those are all Cargill and ADM employees driving the entire Iowa process? I doubt it. dkf Dec 2012 #14

excuse me? they buy most of the corn and are the price makers, what don't you get? HiPointDem Dec 2012 #15

How long have you been following the Iowa caucuses? dkf Dec 2012 #33

You'll never hear anything like this about Uganda. bulloney Dec 2012 #7

we hear plenty about the high inflation in 'communist' zimbabwe, though. an official 'enemy.' HiPointDem Dec 2012 #8

Hadn't heard a thing. LisaLynne Dec 2012 #10

Of course I did. Historically genocide movments thrive under these circumstances. Bluenorthwest Dec 2012 #11

I have no idea what you're talking about. By 'this article' do you mean the one that says uganda HiPointDem Dec 2012 #16

You asked if people knew about this. I most certainly did. Bluenorthwest Dec 2012 #17

i'm confused about what you're calling 'the genocide'. the article talks about two things: food HiPointDem Dec 2012 #18

I'd suggest that the confusion stems from TNR's language 'anti gay bill' without Bluenorthwest Dec 2012 #21

i see. by 'the genocide' you mean the genocide of gays connected to this bill which hasn't been HiPointDem Dec 2012 #22

Did I say those events were not genocide? I'm talking about the bullshit TNR is Bluenorthwest Dec 2012 #24

Because that article was written in 2011. but yeah, i agree with you about warren -- & obama's HiPointDem Dec 2012 #25

Well that makes a large difference. It is a two year old article. Bluenorthwest Dec 2012 #26

Yeah, it is wrong to call a bill allowing genocide a genocide bill until how many are dead? Bluenorthwest Dec 2012 #28

as i said, i am perfectly willing to call it a *genocidal bill.* i'm just not willing to talk about HiPointDem Dec 2012 #29

What I actually wrote: Bluenorthwest Dec 2012 #32

Here is where you are highly incorrect. Bluenorthwest Dec 2012 #30

no, i don't think it's odd at all. i think they're very aware of the bill & much less aware of much HiPointDem Dec 2012 #31

You keep attacking my use of the word 'genocide' although the entire world uses Bluenorthwest Dec 2012 #34
