                  Vader,

                  You just don't 'get it', do you?

                  You'll never get it.

                  Farmers do.

                  It's like a hologram, where You look and look and look and cannot see!


                  Here's a TIP:

                  Whether the farmer has died and didn't cash his cheque, or whether the dog swallowed his grain cheque, or whether the corporation just threw away the grain cheque, here's the important point:


                  IT IS THE FARMERS' MONEY IN THE POOLING ACCOUNTS NOT THE WHEAT BOARD DIRECTORS' PRIVATE SLUSH FUND. Don't try to give a new name like 'special account funds' to money that belongs to the farmer, so that you can legitamize going on spending sprees!

                  I didn't list scholarships, for example. Lots of times there are several payments made to institutions in a year, so I didn't list them all.

                  The CWB must quit spending like drunken sailors.

                    If the CWB can't automatically spend farmers money how are they going to, as winwin says,"fund the revolution"?

                    Actually having to convince farmers of the soundness of these ideas based on just their merit alone? Having to use just logic and reason.

                    No wonder E-Vader is scared.

                      No parsley, the important point is being responsible. The checks were not cashed. Perhaps the dog swallowed it. The CWB spends years trying to get this money into the producers hands. When all attempts fail something must be done with the money.

                      All of the projects that are funded with this money which you have identifed are to the benefit of all producers. It is not spending like drunken sailors. It is a responsible and intelligent performance of duty.

                      What would you propose to do with millions of dollars of uncashed checks. What would you do if you had this responsibility? Would you dither? Would you stuff it under your bloody bed?

                      Your position is ridiculous and undefensible.
