With its scientifically-altered product and with a socially-brainwashed population that has so willingly swallowed this transformation, do you think Wisconsin is on the cutting edge of capitalism? HOT or NOT????&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/pbandtolerance/wisconsin_datcp.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Well harry, its good to see a nice young man like yourself doing some good old critical analysis. As for your query, I would say a decided NOT HOT. Encouraging monoculture and energy intensive meat and dairy production has proven extremly wasteful! Not only that, but factory farming and cost cutting tends towards unsafe labor and health practices and should be avoided. But I'll leave the rest of the voting to the public...&lt;br /&gt;-p&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/38563995-116841799692474945?l=ratethestate.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ratethestate.blogspot.com/feeds/116841799692474945/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=38563995&amp;postID=116841799692474945' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/38563995/posts/default/116841799692474945'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/38563995/posts/default/116841799692474945'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ratethestate.blogspot.com/2007/01/agribusiness-does-wisconsin.html' title='Agribusiness Does Wisconsin'/><author><name>Assonance Not Apathy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01175232023917107744</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38563995.post-116840586577137557</id><published>2007-01-09T21:08:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-01-09T21:11:05.776-08:00</updated><title type='text'>THE EVERGREEN STATE COLLEGE</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/pbandtolerance/campussketch1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Affectionatly known as "tesc", this college is one of the few interdisciplinary colleges left in the country.
