Dairy farmers plight - potential letter to an editor

[Guest guest]

I was googling, and I found this article in a Merced paper:

http://www.mercedsunstar.com/167/story/678443.html

 

Weeks ago, someone wrote that the profitable gas industry should bail-out car

makers, rather than taxpayers.

 

A very similar case can be made for the pharmaceutical industry bailing-out the

cholesterol-farmers, rather than taxpayers.

 

I don't have time to write a letter, though I've been submitting several larger,

more-comprehensive [ & rejected] letters & op-eds. If the story runs in a bigger

paper, I might write. [Would Merced print the opinion of a Berkeley or SF

vegan? ...Perhaps, if it was sufficiently ironic and self-effacing. Y'know: " us

Berkeley bleeding liberal vegans think causing cholesterol-related disease is

just wonderful; for anti-cholesterol and erectile dysfunction pill-makers, at

least. why don't they pay for the dairy-farmers' bailout? " ]

 

If anyone tries, let us know what happens.
