So what is my favorite organization to hate, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), up to now. First they say they are abandoning the private database concept of National Animal Identification System (NAIS) when talking to the foes of NAIS and then turns around and tells the U.S. Animal Identification Organization, the people who are setting up the private database, to continue it's work to build a consolidated database of all animals as envisioned. Sounds like they are trying to blow smoke up my ass if you ask me. Tell the foes of it what they want to hear and then continue on just as you are doing.
This whole NAIS issue needs to stay on the front burner where it can be seen by everybody and I am doing all I can to do this. NAIS does not mean food security. It means the death of small farmers and ranchers every where who can't afford the cost and abuse this system will bring to all of us, big and small. Remember, an ear tag, ID number, or premise ID, never stopped a disease. Proper health and nutrition by caring people, not factory farms, provide disease prevention.
The trouble with lying and deceiving is that their efficiency depends entirely upon a clear notion of the truth that the liar and deceiver wishes to hide. Hannah Arendt

I was spraying some knapweed when this cow wandered up and wondered what I was doing. Sometimes they are so curious it is funny. Taken 8/1/2007.

The solution that I see is to make the system voluntary. If someone wants to gain those markets then they do NAIS, voluntarily. That way it doesn't have to be forced down your and my throats which is a distinct violation of our 4th Amendment Constitutional Rights.
Last question, a favor, would you be willing to go to my blog and post a note what like what you said above about the fact that you and not all big producers are for NAIS and some are actually against NAIS. People need to hear that. Leave a link in the post back to your blog here as well if you would like. This post might be a good one to leave the comment on: http://nonais.org/index.php/2006/02/03/kgba-opposes-nais/
