I apologize for the confusion.<BR/><BR/>Indented, italicized portions are quotes from the source linked by the [More] at the end of the quote. I use that format - as do other bloggers - to attribute, and to provide direct access to the source material. I checked and the quote link seems to be working.<BR/><BR/>This is not intuitively obvious, but it saves some time for me and I hope this clears up your question.John Phippshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03245790061133614986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27951078.post-67639727230093968992007-09-18T09:14:00.000-06:002007-09-18T09:14:00.000-06:00John, you've erroneously attributed a quote to Mic...John, <BR/>you've erroneously attributed a quote to Michael Pollan (Sept 16 Pressure from without...) It was Morgan Meis who wrote "My general feeling about farmers is that they can go f*** themselves." <BR/><BR/>I'm confident that Michael's analysis and journalistic professionalism does not degenerate to such a simplistic level.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for posting Farm Bill perspectives, yours and others.<BR/><BR/>Just as the policies that lead us to war must be debated by every US citizen, so too the Farm Bill (which is really the Farm/Food/Bio-Energy/Environment Bill) needs the full participation of our citizenry. It determines what foods we have access to and can afford, the stewardship of our land and forests, water and soil, the options of future energy production and the economic viability of rural communities.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
