If by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people - their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties - someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad; if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal." - John F. Kennedy

It's COOL
The long awaited and very much delayed Country of Origin Labeling (COOL) finally takes effect today, despite massive efforts by primarily the beef industry to make it go away. What did the meat producers object to? It's too expensive, too difficult, it’s really just another trade barrier, and - the best one - consumers don’t care where their meat comes from. As of today, COOL is law. Now we need to see if anyone pays attention to the new rules. I, for one, am just curious mind you, since I really don’t care where my food is produced as I am sure you aren't either.
