"I want Alan Rock to be the
Minister of Agriculture," said Dave
Winston the other morning, eyeing
George McKenzie as he sat down at
the table for his morning coffee.
"Are you nuts!" bellowed George,
giving Dave the reaction he had been
hoping for. "The man's an idiot. He
couldn't manage a one -seat outhouse
and you want to turn agriculture over
to him? Look what he did with the
gun registry!"
"Exactly my point," said Dave.
"The feds keep trying to cut the
budget for agriculture, right? I figure
they could cut it to a measly $2
million and if Rock was running the
show it could mean we'd still get a
billion or so."
"Yeh, but the money would all go
to the guys working in the
department, not to us farmers," said
Cliff Murray. "I mean it was all
internal stuff that made the gun
registry costs go crazy."
"It was the forms that made me go
Crazy," grumbled George. "If you ask
me the gun registry is likely to cause
more violence, not less. Get caught
up in all that bureaucracy and you're
likely to get your gun out and shoot
somebody."
"Do you think Alan Rock had any
of his relatives getting work out of
all this boondoggle?" wondered
Cliff.
"Hey, he might as well," said
Dave. "Seems to me everything that
happens in government these days
means I'm supporting more guys in
suits. It used to be just my feed
dealer and my accountant but now I
need somebody to do my nutrient
management plan, somebody to
check that the guy who did the
nutrient management plan did it
right, somebody to check the
accuracy of my feed mill, somebody
to cap all the old wells on my farms,
