If we countenance such behavior by government agents, the chili farmers will not be the last victims. When they came for the chili farmers, I did not speak out, for I was not a chili farmer...
I did notice, however, the bodies of the tomato farmers that were run over like road kill by the FDA and the main stream media in their mad dash to the "24-hour truth"...
It may sound excessive, but the point is there. The FDA’s behavior is essentially lawless. If they have the power, at their discretion, to leave innocent people penniless they turn all of us into a kind of supplicant, begging for their favor. That position is not compatible with the free citizenry needed to sustain a free society. Thanks for the post.
