As Adam advised...."be warned", and also be smart, study history and noti=ce
trends in societies' regression towards autocratic control and fascism,
resume some responsibility over your government employees (all are paid b=y
taxes lest everyone forget), and like it or not....be political. I am awa=re
that this may seem off-topic for AEG-ers, but face it, there is no such
thing as an apolitical position....pretence at no-politics is actually a
political stand.

So in the interest of botanists, gardeners, the plants and their survival=,
truely free markets, the little guy (up against the multinationals who ca=n
move plants VERY freely beyond certain minimum trade levels), and returni=ng
the world towards some kind of intelligent progression towards communicat=ion
and goodwill, get organised, join with others, and make some noise about
this where it will be heard. As many of you know, this is but the tip of =a
very dangerous and ugly iceberg now grinding into the centre of the hull =of
the supertanker America.

Make noise while you still are allowed to use your voices at all.

Well said, Barry.  You left out only the likelihood that anyone who has h=ad
seeds confiscated-- may well now have  his or her name on a "watch list"
Hopefully they will not put it on a "no fly" list , which has happened to=a
few others sometimes just because of a name similarity.

The computer age makes all kinds of constraints, restrictions and
punishments possible. Sometimes a mild paranoia is healthy.  Be warned.
