the new bill just made it illegal to grow your own food, and soon to raise any livestock whatsoever including chickens and rabbits – they want us to starve. stock up on seeds too as im sure theyll be gone soon to. here in detroit area a lady was in the news for almost doing time over a small garden. things are afoot in the good old repulic my friend.

now that it is National news ..i give those people 10months before someone in the ‘government” regulates away their dream , piece by piece.
where i live , they are hitting us at Animals. aninimal control laws in texas are going crazy.. no dog in the yard, he has to be in a kennel, or on Leash, no more then 10 rabbits, no more then 5 chickens, and if you have chickens and rabbits then the combined can not be more then 10 and so forth and so on.

I just started my veg/wildlife garden. A few month ago i had a lawn and hedging and the surrounding gardens are all the same kind. Urban “sterile gardens”.
March this year i planted loads of edible flowers, made a raised veg bed and started some containers with veg, made a compost bin from old pallets and put a bird box up.
The guy next doors thinks im nuts for ripping my patchy “sterile” lawn up but loves the birds in the bird box and insect life that comes to my garden not his. HA HA

Dervaes Family: I am sure you had no idea your trademark pursuits would garner the type of attention you are now experiencing. Rather than digging a deeper hole and leaving fewer ways to gracefully resolve this maelstrom, please stop digging. There may yet be hope to “unring” the bell and find a way to begin rebuilding your credibility and rejoining the homestead movement.

Awesome..subscribed to their facebook page. Very encouraging for me since we lack a lot of land where we live.

This is an excellent idea considering Obama appointed Monsanto lobbyists and employees to head up the USDA and be the new ‘food safety czar’.

The Clinton Admin penned the Patriot Act. Bush pushed it through. (Same team…See?)

Definitely- these companies need to fail and shouldn’t get squat from the taxpayer. On the rest, we can agree to disagree. 🙂

We’ll have to agree to disagree. I think we can both agree that bailing out any private corporation is NOT the role of government and that these poorly run companies should sink without a dime of taxpayer money involved. In a TRUE free market, new (and better) companies would take their place in a minute!

IMO, the right are more responsible for anti-freedom efforts than the left. Last 8 years have gotten us the Patriot Act, Homeland Security, retro-active immunity for Big Telecom spying on American citizens, secret CIA prisons, torture, an endless war for peace, ability to classify anyone as a suspected terrorist w/o right to habeas corpus or a lawyer- the list goes on. If you disagreed then you were branded as an unpatriotic, un-American leftist commie who hated America.

Agreed, Bush was a horrible president. He served the elites. Leftists are more anti-freedom than the right in my opinion but it’s a matter of degree. Libertarians/constitution party are the only ones representing the founders vision today. Bush started this “bail out” crap with a phony financial crisis and Obama disliked it so much he “doubled down” creating more debt than all the past presidents (inc. Bush) combined. We couldn’t have done worse than these two losers. Now we are stuck.
