      Ha, ha! Donald Trump did even one better! He got up on stage with Dee Snyder of Twisted Sister and sang "We're gonna take it" For St. Jude's Children's Hospital and than his family gave them a check for 50,000 bucks!!!

      Obama was a senator in 2005; He has been elected as the president of USA only in 2008... ;-)
      However I can understand how important this could be now for Wilco.

About a year a go I had no idea about our farms and the food industry. I got netflix and was addicted to documentaries. I love"The Beautiful Truth" "King Corn" "Food Inc." They opened my eyes and lead me down the path I have chosen. I care about the health of our food. I care about farmers.

    @tophacud look it's not his fault. There's a book called "The Thomas Jefferson Education" and it basically says that since the 1900's Americans have been taught what to think instead of how to think. Untill we realize that our system isn't working there is little hope. We need to be more understanding and open minded. We are living in the information age. Let's share what we think. Let's be informative without turning people away.
