Offside - at one time I lived next door to a neglected woodlot. For a few years before we moved away, I was able to pick gallons of blackberries which I made into jams, blackberry cordials etc which were wonderful. The neat feature was all the little critters that came to visit as I picked including little green tree frogs. Thanks for triggering that beautiful memory. $30 for a pie! Locally, they go for $15.

Yes, indeed they are. My Homeland is a good example but there are many other good examples, too. Thank You btw for posting this and for understanding this - so many Americans are brainwashed by the system to accept things as they are so that the wealthy can get yet wealthier at the expense of everyone else.
