>Am I reading right. Did you just equate the ketchup business with the military industrial complex?

Hey, ketchup is a strategic product. There are good reasons it hasn't been outsourced and won't be. Be sure that DHS keeps a tight lid on the ketchup resources. Proof: it was never really published how much of DoD budget goes to ketchup coverage. And even FISA court rubberstamps any warrant based on tracking whoever spelled it in a terrist way in an email, as "catsup".

> I'm sure at this very moment Heinz and Hunt's have a large contigent of lobbyists arguing for that new law that will only let you call your stuff ketchup if it uses tomatoes from the vine.

Actually, the purpose of the bill is to ban the use of the name for any company whose name doesn't start with H. They'll have to call it something else, or join the organization. If housing peddlers can call themselves realtors only because they have invented that name and registered it... just watch it.

There are many doubts about the current government, and they are entitled to enjoy the benefit of any shred of it.
