Was that from Francisco’s wedding speech? I’m a ways ahead of the discussion and I know I read it but can’t remember the context.

Jeez - our foolish laws will force God-fearing folks feel like they’re operating a meth lab when all they are doing is baking pies, for cryin’ out loud.

How did it happen that we set up this situation where government employees just suck all the joy out of life?

First booze, then tobacco, then hamburgers, then booze again, then Twinkies, now pie.

Where will it all end?

"They have more work on their hands than going after little old ladies baking pies."

Well, apparently this one inspector was bored enough to give granny a hard time at this church.

Didn’t realise that Jerome “Curley” Howard was a lefty. Looks like he had a good breaking ball.

The same kind of thing happened years ago in Mchenry County, Illinois. This used to be a nice place to live and raise a family, but then a lot of people from Chicago and close-in suburbs moved in and brought the same mentality with them.

The county board of health hired a bunch of Nazi inspectors and decided to become a profit center. Events were canceled or hassled out of existence, and the little people learned to live with the inconvenience of big government in small towns.

This is just beyond stupid. What’s next, contraband pierogies?

No, I think that we are coming down eating soylent green. The federal government wants to kill small farming and regulate all food. Church dinners are just a good staring point, grange halls, too. Once people get used the small intrusions of government regulation, they will move to the farms.

I think that the recent out breaks of salmonella in peanuts and pistachios are all related to the food police. I think that the nut prep factories are not union and a lot of lefties are afraid of nuts because of allergies, so they made a convenient target. Farm animals are, of course, included in the food safety act. It will cost farmers more to have the inspections than they can make on the farm products, thus forcing them out of business.

Democrats want to preserve the farm land and destroy the farmer.
