What happened to this being the good ol'> US of A?Yeah, it's called State's rights and this state's legislature decidedthat its people didn't need any rights to fight against corporatefarming. Unfortunately we don't have referendum here so we can't juststart a petition to get on a ballot. That's why I'm getting involvedwith who is running for govenor of Iowa. I want someone who's going tocare more about the people than the corporations of Iowa."In the present position of the planets, it's impossible to say;Just when I'll find my course again, with the boulders in my way.I should be rolling down the skyway on my cosmic wheels;Instead of stumbling down this highway on my boots of steel"Source: Cosmic Wheels by Donovan for Good Click here to donate to the Hurricane Katrina relief effort.
