Last week FOX News had an article about “Overcrimialzation” of society by government. The examples given were of game violations but it’s in everything government touches.
Oregon is now fining hunters $25 for not reporting their hunt results. I’ve been buying sport pack hunting/fishing licenses since I was a kid. Not anymore. $25 fine for forgetting to tell the government I never go turkey hunting?
In fact, it’s world wide. A survey of ports around the world found that 25% of all ship captains had been crimminally charged with something. Glad I retired when I did.
Everybody is required to have a criminal record in the new global government. Thanks, useful idiots/s
"Based on the novel by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, The Yearling is set in post-Civil War Florida. Claude Jarman Jr. plays Jody Baxter, the lonely son of just-getting-by farmers Pa and Ma Baxter (Gregory Peck and Jane Wyman). With all of his siblings dead and buried, Jody yearns to have a pet of some sort. When Pa is forced by circumstances to kill a doe, the animal's fawn-the yearling of the title-is adopted by Jody. The boy's love for the animal does not alter the fact that the fawn is eating all of the Baxters' crops. Sadly, Pa tells Jody that he must kill the yearling before all their crops are destroyed. Jody can't bring himself to do this, so he sets the animal free in the wilds. Time and again, however, the yearling returns to the farm. Finally, Ma Baxter, who'd been against having the fawn on the property in the first place, shoots and wounds the animal. Now, Jody has no choice: rather than see his beloved yearling writhe in agony, he kills it. Though this results in a rift between himself and his family, Jody at last realizes that, by taking the responsiblity of saving the farm at the expense of his own feelings, he has also taken the first step towards manhood. He himself is a "yearling" no more."
The Yearling should be required reading/watching for all school kids. It is 1000 times better than Disney's Bambi.
“There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.” - Ayn Rand
