Yes, speaking for myself, it took some of us awhile to gain our wisdom.

Speaking for myself, I'm just another work in progress. I sure have met a lot of smart people here.

No, I did not wonder. They simply evaporated and were assimilated back into the atmosphere. So dilute it never hurt anybody. Except may be in CA.

This is why, even though this egg business is not quite an Interstate Commerce issue as Greenfield posits, it’s important. It’s because California has a habit of metastasizing its bad habits to the rest of the country via the federal government when it finds out the people are squirming out from under their thumb.

53 Representatives have a lot of sway in DeeCee.

Nobody’s talking about putting opinions into law here.

Who says an egg producer has to serve California at all.

Also there are bacteria that ferment organic compounds into good/bad ole carbon dioxide and water. That’s probably the fate of most hydrocarbons emitted into the air.

Did you read Greenfield’s article, by chance? CA voters just put opinion into law.

Yes, but that was not what the side-discussion was about.

Ah! Gotcha. I thought that might be the case...I punched back a couple of replies to see if that was the case, but I missed the nature of the side-discussion.

We do the same thing. The eggs are delicious. Some of them are white, some are brown and some are blue.

Basically we were talking about why conservatives cede to the liberals the talking points about things like the environment, treating animals in a humane way. What this does is allow the liberals to portray conservatives as people who don't care about those type of things.

Many conservatives are so afraid of being lumped in with tree-huggers and such that they fall right into that particular trap.

A conversation worth having. Staying clear of the trap is not always easy when the other side has control of the language. To me, that is where this nation’s recovery has to start, and we have a long, long road ahead of us.

I’ll probably be off this mortal coil by the time we get the language back. Well, the journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step, right?

"Who says an egg producer has to serve California at all"

No sane person I ever met. Hell, I live here and I hope none of them comply.

Ya know, if every kid in America ate a boiled egg every day it would likely raise the collective IQ of the country by 10 points.

The vast majority of that increase would come whether the eggs are free range organic, or "factory". Throw in an apple, some Fritos and a glass of milk and we would have changed the world.

The market should be allowed to set the price of eggs without interference from any outside force.

But it would be nice to know what the hens have been fed.

You don’t get good and plentiful eggs if the chickees aren’t well fed and happy. That’s the market force that will ensure your hens have been well fed. Well, until the very end, then I have to hope they’re quick about it.

It is obvious someone has never raised a chicken and knows nothing about how to do it so the animal is healthy and well.

Absolutely right!!!! I raise chickens too. PEOPLE who grow up in rural environments learn about life and death and survival in the REAL WORLD. In addition to what he has outlined, you soon learn to get over eating your “pets”. Eating t-bones and hamburgers from “Brownie” the tender calf. Eating fried chicken from “Cocky” the expendable rooster. Eating baked chicken from old “Henrietta” the spent hen. Eating bacon, ham, and sausage from “Porky” the pig.

All the while, predators and varmits of every descriptions will be glad to kill and eat your animals leaving the left over parts for you and buzzards. Its a challenge against nature to survive by your own endeavors. Something, a lot of people are too ignorant accept in the digital age.

Animals provide food for our tables. Free range sounds good, but in realty ever witness dead or injured chickens that have been attacked by a varmit. Not a pretty sight...

And try finding those free range eggs, a daily Easter hunt. I particularly don’t know how long those eggs have been laying around in 100 degree sun before I found them. Enjoy those free range eggs and think about that...

Also, ever have to “put down” a sick animal or a varmit you have trapped?

I’m so old, I remember when we had to arm ourselves to prevent thieves or varmits from stealing our animals. And a well placed shot into a varmit resolves that issue in a humanely way.
