Talking about Agriculture groups, but could EASILY apply to dog  
owners, clubs, groups.  I'm waiting for responses from emails I sent  
last week (Thank you for the three who have responded so far, even  
counting the "received it, thank you!!!!).  In another week or two,  
I'll give results.

Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace

February 5, 2010 by Steve Kopperud
Filed under Inside D. C.

There?s an odd psychology among many national ag groups ? whether  
producer, input or processor ? as well as among monster-big companies  
when it comes to ?responding? to attacks from activists or ill- 
informed bureaucrats on what we do and how well we do it.  It  
generally comes down to waiting until the bomb has dropped or getting  
someone else to stand up and scream, ?Enough of this junk.?  Those  
days have got to end.

If you plumb the motivation for this hesitance to confront our  
adversaries or to challenge the Big Lie(s) about production  
agriculture and modern food production, you generally get the  
following responses:  1.  ?I/we don?t want to make a bigger deal out  
of this than it already is?, or 2.  ?We don?t want to tick off (fill  
in the name of your favorite critic ? private or government) because  
they might punish us with something worse.?

Forgive my frankness, but this kind of thinking is crap.

The groups, movements and individuals who attack us expect us to be  
reactive. They expect us to be timid, overly cautious and darn near  
afraid of going on the offensive. They understand how we think and how  
we act almost better than we do and they plan their attacks  
accordingly....
