''It's got to be restored; otherwise we're in big trouble''

There's no government like big government. okay, so the above quote is from a sunflower seed researcher worried that a sunflowerseed researcher position that had been funded by the feds was going bye bye would lead to the death of snackey goodness.




really.





ugh, please shoot me.


I guess the real concern is that the just shy of 3 million acres of sunflowers here in the states would be threatened by fungus if we didn't protect them. "the official comment is no comment" does come to mind.

I do think of the sunflowers of southern france more than those of north dakota for some reason...

a good idea?

well, I'll leave you with this quote:

Kleingartner compared field testing to ''having a mechanic guess what might be wrong with your car'' without the help of computer equipment. ''It's an old way of doing it,'' he said.

f*ckin' shut 'em down I say - if you can't figure out how a carburator works you shouldn't be allowed to drive a car with fuel injection I say.
