Yikes! I missed this last Friday. That’s what happens when you run errands in town all day instead of obsessively checking emails and blogs.
Here’s the link: Sparks second livebloggins session
And a few great quotes….
Agriculture & National Security:
“…agriculture goes hand in hand with national security. Being able to continue feed our citizens and not depend on other countries is extremely important to our national security. A country that can’t feed itself is vulnerable. “
Sparks on Alternative Fuels:
“And I hope that the Center helps make Alabama a leader in alternative fuel technology and development. I think we should look at cellulose and other methods of feed stock as we are currently doing with our universities to help solve our dependence on foreign oil. Every gallon of fuel we produce in Alabama is one less gallon of fuel we bring out of the desert. “
Rural development/zoning/faming issues:
“I don’t think a subdivision should build next to a farming operation and then expect them to go out of business. But at the same time, I don’t expect a farmer to build a hog farm next to a subdivision and the homeowners like it. We must become good neighbors so that we can coexist.”
On the diffiiculties of (possibly) mounting a challenge to Senator Jefferson Beauregard Sessions, III:
“…it would be important to the Republican party not to lose a Southern senator. We will have to mount every resource we possibly can to win that battle. “
Don’t worry Ron, we’re right there with you and we have your back.
