Waters, I heard the LDS Church owns vast cattle ranches. Urban myth (like the one about it owning Coca Cola)?

They have a huge ranch in Floria. It's a PRIVATE ranch, not a ranch that sucks off the federal tit.

Are you saying they get no government subsidy at all? Right, like the Lakers. Prove it.

Nobody like to suck a small tit. Make it smaller and all our problems are solved!

They are. SU was leading you astray when he set up the poll to include mustangs instead of wolves.

Neither is:

25 And it came to pass that we did find upon the land of promise, as we journeyed in the wilderness, that there were abeasts in the forests of every kind, both the cow and the ox, and the ass and the horse, and the goat and the wild goat, and all manner of wild animals, which were for the use of men. And we did find all manner of bore, both of cgold, and of silver, and of copper.

1 Nephi 18:25

As an aside, I notice LDS.org has made finding the Book of Mormon on the site extremely un-user friendly. Trying to bury it? Also, it's ridiculous that when you put in a search term like "horse" you can't isolate one of the Mormon scripture books.
