They also consider economic effects of their production for their community and state.<br /><br />I am aware that these two examples come from a completely different world - but who knows, maybe not THAT different after all.<br /><br />(Please excuse my bad English; I'm not a native speaker...)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
