#1 Let me get this straight - we put all of our farmers out of business, chuck self-sufficiency and become dependent on foreign food, and the foreign countries don't even give anything back? Wow, what a deal.

#2 After the French first. After they cut off their farmers, we'll talk.

#3 The EU has been so effective in enforcing budget limits and Kyoto limits upon its own members *cough*. Kyoto part II. Let's force the Americans to do our bidding, but we'll not enforce the limits upon ourselves. Right.

#4 The US gives aid to its farmers, but the other countries have import tariffs or protect market segments altogether. I agree that US farm support should be cut (most goes to "corporate" farms, not small family farms), but other countries must open their markets.

#7 Well, it's obvous that we have had a "frank" discussion of the issues. It is not the time for hand-wringing and despair and woe over the impasse. We are talking and not shooting, so we can build on that. I would recommend that we talk some more. We can work this out. We have all the geologic time that we need. So let's get crackin'!

#9 I'm all for free trade a such as long as we maintain price stability for the peanut farmers. If that means subsidies I'm for it, if it means import limits, I'm for it, if it means a nuclear strike on some damn foreign cheap ass farmer, then I'm for it. That's what government is for, that and highways.
