Not a big jump from sadism with animals to sadism with Muslims, eh
Frank? You may be in luck. I think Fuhrer Bush and Co. still have
openings for the seriously sick and twisted at Woomera (G'day!),
Guantanamo, and Abu Ghraib.

Ah, but to get back on topic before we get too excited with that
prospect. Did you know that Abu Ghraib was previously home to Iraq's
national seed bank and research facilities? The FAO reports that, war
related damage and looting "has resulted in the loss of almost all
generations of seeds of all crops". Add to that Paul Bremer's Order 81
(Patent, Industrial Design, Integrated Circuits and Plant Variety Law)
which extends patent protection to seeds and plants, legalizes GMOs, and
forbids farmers from saving seeds from protected varieties. Add to that,
that a month before the American invasion, plant and seed patents were
made part of the American economic agenda for Iraq.

I understand that if this "plays well on the road", they'll bring it to
Broadway (America).

I plan to do a little pruning, today, on my peach and apple trees and,
then go watch ol' man Favre toss it around a bit.

Go prune yourself, Billy
