Congress Set To Override Bush Water Veto
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/...n3445945.shtml
In this bill are funds to build new locks on the upper Mississippi and Illinois rivers. These are to aid in shipping larger amounts of corn and soy. As I understand it, these funds will only benefit Archer Daniels Midlands and Cargill (socialize the cost and privatize the profits) and not the farmers. Can anyone shed any additional light on this situation? Obviously, anything to help New Orleans is warranted but the ethnic cleansing of New Orleans, that is now in progress, is repugnant to anyone with a social conscience. Strengthen the levees, and let the inhabitants of the lower Ninth Ward return to their homes. I know I am only addressing New Orleans and there is an entire sea board there that is in trouble and needs help, not condos. -- FB - FFF Billy Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights.
