Good Morning,  Like the farmer, I am awake with the sunrise to read one of my favorite emails, Freedom's Phoenix.  Sometimes I wonder that it may be the closest thing to journalism that survives. 

I am so touched by the article "Fresh Eggs" and Stewart Ogilby's ability to slow me down to listen to his question.  What has happened to my country?  I will be thinking all day about how to best use this information.  Of course, I will have to quiet some of my thoughts.  No doubt they will turn to violence when I think of Monsanto and big Agri-business and the corporate thugs that are invading family farm country.  I need to figure out how to best serve those farmers in La Grange, Ohio so I must quiet my thoughts and not be sucked in by the sadness and use my anger profitably.  Thank you FP for serving me a slice of reality, no matter how bitter.
