People have had revolutions over far, far less than this.
Monsanto strikes again
I had asked on the weekly gardening thread but received no replies. Is there a FR seed exchange? I am starting to try plan a garden for 2015... I had moved in too late in the season to do anything with the garden for 2014.
Like four cents on the dollar in Boston Harbor?
Check this out. Even sticking a garlic clove in the dirt is turning into an act of resistance.
“Agriculture officials say they weren’t looking for a fight “
Well it looks like they have one.
Of the many reasons that I save my heirloom seeds, plant a garden, and preserve it in the fall is so that my kids will know how to feed themselves. Six years ago I would have LOLed at anybody suggesting what I’m about to: Our government doesn’t want us to be able to feed ourselves.
Does anyone think the rioters in Ferguson would be intimidated by ag agents with clip boards? Didn’t think so.
It is time to erase the government, since it has been infected with bloatware, viruses, and malware. Wipe the hard drive, and reload it with the original source code. Reboot.
Bingo. More regulations protecting the facist state. Big government and big business; hand in hand.
Wow!
Really wish the article gave more background on these laws. Don’t see why legislatures would have written laws to regulate free sharing of seeds.
Monsanto.
“We don’t just make your food,
We own it!”
It’s reasonable to expect that the real story has little, if anything, to do with Monsanto.
Do you seriously think the media would miss an opportunity to whip one of their whipping boys?
“We don’t just make your food,
We own it!”
Just for grins, how long has it been since farmers have been forced to buy new seed for corn each spring?
“but must enforce laws that are intended to protect farmers”
No...not true...Zerohissef only enforces the laws he wants to...the precedent is there....
/sarc
Zerohissef lol!
And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!
Solzhenitsyn
“How is that people who have been crushed by the sheer weight of slavery and cast to the bottom of the pit can nevertheless find the strength to rise up and free themselves, first in spirit and then in body; while those who soar unhampered over the peaks of freedom suddenly lose the taste for freedom, lose the will to defend it, and, hopelessly confused and lost, almost begin to crave slavery”. Alexander Solzhenitsyn.
What if your pot has some seeds in it? ???? hmmm ????
How many borders did it cross?
I’ve seen a few articles over the past year about Minnesota being very regulated.
