I have also read Linda Faillace's book MAD SHEEP about the USDA. I saw the video of Diane's removal from the hearing. I say GO DIANE!!! I am disgusted that the people no longer have a voice in what is happening in this country...what has happened to our Democracy? I think our true national motto is "One Nation, Under Money" I just finished reading Diane’s book. I have also read Linda Faillace’s book MAD SHEEP about the USDA.

It might be seen as helping defuse what others might have been overtly violent over, the thought their voices have at least been heard. This Thanksgiving I'm sure a animal will be "pardoned" at least someone of intergrity should. As a descendant of Grand Manan islanders, in the Bay of Fundy, where one can watch the Eastport, US fireworks, over FDR's Campobello Island in Canada, I cannot but think otherwise.

I saw the coverage of Wilson's arrest at the Senate hearing. Learning some of her background and also the follow up to that day gives a much more complete picture of this person than a soundbyte of her getting taken down. The Vermont connection is neat, too.
