    Actually it is the 27 th amendment ratified in 1992 [they are given numbers when thry are ratified not when proposed] though it was proposed at the same time as the Bill of Rights it only limits the date when a pay change can take effect so I woulld expect little effect on pay levels.

    Non-GMO, organic stores??

    I could be wrong [Greenies come and get me:lol:] but all organic is non-GMO. Our normal supermarkets have orgainc produce sections Just look for the higher priced and less attractive produce and then check for the organic claim. If you are in a area that does not produce organic you might have...

    Rancid Lard?

    Gee you need legislation to make that happen? Get real you expect the law makers to make it possible to recall themselves.
