Sue Uncle Sam for 84 million dollar loss

In a perfect world, Uncle Sam and his State cronies, should be taken to task in a courtroom for the damage done to this crop.

The upperhandedness of our government, in this case North Carolina, has gone too far. This was a cash crop that in fact, should be legal. Why?

It's just not ethical to destroy anyone's crop of anything. I come to this conclusion having just read Ken Follet's "The Ends of the Earth" in which during medieval times, the earl of the shire could just come along and trample anything the peasants grew on their own that wasn't officially approved. In fact, in the book, a youth was growing "madder" for the dye. He was, like our 84 million dollar loser in North Carolina, growing it for his own profit and purposes.

On horseback, the earl trampled the plants in the forest until there was nothing left of them. Ironically, this particular plant's value was in it's roots which when dried and made into powder, was used as a valuable red dye. Viciously, he did this, just to spite the youth and his peasantry and to show him who was in control.

Our government goes too far. First, in the fact they would allow tobacco to be grown all over the country, a profitable crop that destroys the health of the people who use it. However, a crop such as was grown North Carolina has basically been determined to harm no one. There seems a viciousness in denying a huge population through the country, the right to inhale a different (non-approved) brand of smoke.

Tyranny. Fascism. Fiefdom rule. As Americans, this is just one small example of the trampling of our rights to do what we wish with our land.

If this story involve my land, and this were me, I would investigate whether the government itself grows this crop, and if so, I would take it all the way to the Supreme Court to find out if it's OK for Tanto Sam, why it isn't OK for the American people. This needs to stop. It's an outrage.
