I saw a video in english class today that wants to make me a progressive

It was a documentary on the agricultural industry. I have to do an extra credit project on it to keep my grade in the high nineties.

I never saw such deplorable conditions for workers, immigrants, and farmers; nor have I seen how bad they get treated by big business. I'm not one to harp for animal rights, but what I saw in those chicken plants and slaughterhouses was horrible. I'd no idea how dangerous it was.

And big agricultural businesses make a KILLING off of contracted-out individual farmers who are getting screwed.

I'm not sure I can be a laizzes-faire capitalist anymore. What's worse is there're libel laws that say you can't talk bad about big beef, big cattle, or big agriculture. I saw they even sued Oprah!

It makes me want to become a progressive.
