But if they succeed in cramming NAIS down our throats, it will probably be moot.

But you are right–it’s not about the style or mode of life it’s about the inherent American right to be able to live how you want without goverment interference. Religious and ideological freedom. This is true of the Raw Milk issue we are facing. It’s not whether you drink raw milk or not–people should still have a choice. To make it illegal to milk your own cow and drink the milk or serve it to guests, or even to sell it (with proper guidence and regulations) limits freedoms, confuses the public and creates paranoia.

Same is true for feeding raw meat to my dog. I have a right to do so–whether anybody else likes it or not. Nevertheless, there are people out there who, for whatever reason, are trying to stop this practice. They feel it is a threat to public health. People will die and the dogs will spread disease. . . .Well, they better ban wolves, cayotes, bears, etc. from eating raw meat too. We don’t especially have a public disease problem from them. Just because some moron buys 10 cases of frozen raw meat for his pit-bulls and leaves them in his tract-house garage to melt out into the street and the sight of bloody meat juice paniced the cul-de-sac mothers, we now have to fight for another freedom.

Balance, order and common sense. These things are lacking in our country. Slowly erroded they will be hard to get back anytime soon. I am lucky enough, for the moment, to live in a part of America where my “town” doesn’t have police, few stop signs, little speed limit monitoring and zero crime. Fights may break out, disagreements may happen but we are a largely self policing bunch. You fall out of line and there are people to tell you and point you to the path of re-acceptance. But even here the new, progressive ideology is changing things. People younger than I with no values and lots of money are moving in wanting all the drippings of “real” civilization–stops signs, police presence, rules and regulations to guide them because they don’t have the ability to do it for themselves any longer.

The 60’s motto, “Question Authority” changed sometime in the 80’s to “Accept Authority at any cost”. Without hardtimes and austerity to keep us in check (from 1900 to 1972 America was either at war, depressed, or struggling as a country in some way) the prosperity of the 80’s and 90’s has left us largely with a society soft, and unprepared to accept personal responsability. They have bought into Big Brother because it makes them feel safe and snug with all their worldly goods. Nimby-ism is rampant and finger pointing a national pastime. The Blame Game. And this has left us with a government more than willing to accept the role and the huge personal profits to be made from it–drugs to protect and make you feel more comfortable; chemicals for the perfect lawn; acres of wilderness where no one can spit so we can feel good; rampant energy consumption because there is no problem and it’s good for the nation. . .

Thank God all of us, here, can see through this and are on the path to tackle the multi-headed Government Hydra one lying, distorted head at a time.

This is such a huge violation of our rights that I can’t believe any halfway intelligent person would even consider this whole mess…not even in the slightest…it is insane!!!!

Keep up the good fight…there needs to be more people informed….it is so secretive and yes very well misrepresented it should be a crime in fact it is legal fraud.

Thank you Walter for making this site possible.

I marveled at that plain, simply put tid-bit of logic! I think everybody had to stop and scratch their heads on that one.

Jane did a good job and I’m glad she took this bull by the horns!
