Ms. Courtney Dunbar Jones, I think your statement was mercifully short, and extremely poignant, and extremely to the point.
Show me a nation that cannot feed itself, and I'll show you a nation in chaos.
We even have in eastern Colorado and western Kansas a hotline for people who are considering suicide.
Your point is extremely valid. Other countries have beat us to the punch, and we have got to get busy.
