THE EXAMPLE
Children, watching, listening
Learning attitudes and speech
Giving honor to their heroes
With each gesture that they teach
What in life means most to them Money, pride, wild living?
Or family, God and country
And your word so carefully given
The character it takes to stand
To call it right or wrong
Then back it up with action
in the home or in the throng.

As to the Farm Bill, John Salazar (former congressman) said agriculture policy in Washington has "never been designed to protect agriculture - - it's designed to protect the consumer. We have the most inexpensive and safest food supplies in the whole world," he said. "We need to make sure we educate our urban counterparts on the importance of agriculture. If we ever become dependent on another country to produce our food, we'll be in real trouble." From: The Colorado Statesman March 18, 2011 by Marianne Goodland

Who's Sorry Now?
Who's sorry now,
Who's sorry now,
Whose heart is achin'
For breakin' each vow?
Who's sad and blue,
Who's cryin' too,
Just like I cried over you?
Right to the end, just like a friend,
I tried to warn you somehow.
You had your way, now you must pay,
I'm glad that you're sorry now.
