Free Speech
I thought our Universities were all about free speech. It appears that <a href="http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/04/18/america/NA-GEN-US-University-Shooting-Colorado.php">this isn't the case in Colorado</a>. Say the wrong thing there and get charged with interfering with staff, faculty or students of an education institution. <br />n<br />nDon't get me wrong, the guy wasn't real brilliant with what he said.

Why?
Why is it necessary for our <a href="http://www.billingsgazette.net/articles/2007/04/18/news/state/28-gov.txt">Governor to go to California to raise money</a> for his Montana Governor re-election campaign? Not enough money in Montana for his tastes or not enough people like him well enough in Montana to contribute to him? <br />n<br />n<strong>What do we believe? Why do we believe it? Joey…

Interesting News
I was visiting with a neighbor the other night and heard something really interesting. Many of the people on the Rosebud flat run out of hay during the recent snowstorm and had to go with no feed for their cattle since none was available. This to me shows how much some people were hurt by…

The Issue

I'm no expert on such things so I don't pretend to know the solution but I understand that there is a lack of Dentist throughout the US so a solution…

I had a comment left by my buddy at MSU, Paul, and I decided to answer it here instead of the comments.<br />n<br />nHere's the comment to start with.<br />n<br />n<blockquote>This corn thing is all hype to drive down the prices we get for our calves this year.
