Are any of the complicit sheep on Free Republic who insisted that the people warning about Agenda 21 fifteen years ago or more were crackpots still around?

[stanne]

Do they think it’s better for the animal to die of old age. We’re going to have hospice service provided by our tax money

They are insane.

I’d say that this QC should be dragged out and lynched, but some people might not realize I’m just kidding.

I think I’ll have to have a beer and a bacon lettuce and tomato sandwich to think about this.

There goes Irish stew, bangers and mash, haggis, blood pudding, spotted dick, toad in the hole, Yorkshire pudding, Scottish egg, scouse, sheppards pie, faggots and depending on what he considers a meat there’s kippers.

[beethovenfan]

Just try that in Texas.

Pssst.....hey dude, I’ve got some primo ribeye out back. First hit’s free.

Michael Mansfield QC says new legislation is needed to criminalise the wilful destruction of nature, which he described as a crime against humanity.

That means pathogens, contagions, insects, bacteria, and myriad microscopic disease and larger dangerous insects should be left to propagate and run their life cycles. They are, after all part of nature, and immunology and suppression are counter to their natural being.

Eating meat could become illegal in the future due to the damage caused to the environment, says a leading barrister calling for a new ecocide law. Michael Mansfield QC says new legislation is needed to criminalise the wilful destruction of nature, which he described as a crime against humanity.

Fine, Mansfield. We won't eat animal meat. Instead, we will eat you and your extended family.

Who was it that said “The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers?” Shakespeare, King Henry VI. He was right.

Unfortunately, too many people quote that out of context.

The villains in this play, bent on leading their nation to tyranny, remark thus.

[Fungi]

I know, but so what, it still fits.

So, when people are starving from lack of balanced nutrition, they become aggressive. Just like cats when you forget to feed them. In addition, their brains do not function well. Children raised on a vegetarian have perma ently lowered IQ.

This is suggesting an experiment that affects people’s lives. In addition, it is very bad for the environment because of rampant poaching and increased acreage needed for farming the calorie dense produce that people need to consume.

[Cyclops08]

I cannot think of a quicker way to foment a revolt.

[BenLurkin]

Either way, the line certainly brought down the house.

"villains in this play"

In the play they were. Shakespeare was definitely on the side of the monarchy or his plays would not be played.

In modern terms, you could say that what the real rebels were against was the swamp. And how many of our noble congressman and government officials today are lawyers?

How about instead we make brain dead lawyers illegal?
