NCBA = Government

Recently the Supreme Court ruled the Beef Checkoff Constitutional which <a href="http://nowherethoughts.net/sarpysam/archives/970-Beef-Checkoff.html">I talked about</a> some. I came across <a href="http://www.capitalpress.info/main.asp?SectionID=67&SubSectionID=782&ArticleID=17611&TM=29005.88">H. Clay Daulton opinions</a> on this and it makes me laugh.<br />n<br />n<blockquote>Within hours after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the national Beef Checkoff constitutional, H. Clay Daulton sat down at his computer and tapped out a message for posting on the Internet.<br />n<br />n"This decision draws the line.<br />n<br />n"This decision explains who is who in the industry and leaves no doubt, no identity crisis. <acronym title="National Cattlemans Beef Association, shills for the big meat packers">NCBA</acronym> is funded by the government to speak for the government and thus is the government. And a huge portion of <acronym title="National Cattlemans Beef Association, shills for the big meat packers">NCBA</acronym>'s speech is not funded by U.S. cattle assessments, but from foreign meat and cattle assessments."</blockquote><br />n<br />nI can't argue with his opinion. Since the Court ruled the Beef Checkoff is Government speech, the National Cattlemans Beef Association (<acronym title="National Cattlemans Beef Association, shills for the big meat packers">NCBA</acronym>) is obviously an official arm of the US Government. Just another good reason not to support them in my book.<br />n<br />n<b>The function of wisdom is to discriminate between good and evil. Marcus Tullius Cicero</b>
