Farmageddon Trailer - destruction of family farms by FDA

[Amyable]

Thanks for posting this Paula! I saw Linda Faillace in there; I read the story about their troubles with USDA, Mad Sheep. If you want to get really riled up, read that one.

I predict a serious food revolution coming soon, and it aint' gonna be pretty.

Can anyone think of a single instance in history where the people (peasants) standing up to the powers that be has every NOT been a bloody battle? I can't, but I'm no history major. I'll ask DH though, being a Phil major he's studied a LOT of history. Just within our own country's history I can't think of a time when a group, even a large one, standing up for what they believe in hasn't met with violence from either their peers or from the government itself.

Precisely the reason for the 2nd Amendment.

there won't be a revolution, there aren't enough citizens of this country left with any trace of morals, values, standards, ethics..... the government knows that

these atrocities have occured since the formation of the US government

That's where people like us come in, who stand by our values. Revolutions always fail. Aggression AGAINST the government is doomed to fail. But taking a stand? That's what the Founders did. They made a stand, drew their line in the sand, and dared King George to cross it. They won.

I hate to say it, but the time is coming when we will need to take a stand - more than likely an ARMED stand. Call me paranoid, but that's the only conclusion I can come to. Look at the fact that paramilitary SWAT teams are routinely being used for standard searches now. Look at armed Feds raiding farms. Look at the fact that police all over the US are increasingly militarized; met a cop from Georgia at a shooting range, he showed me an automatic MP5 that he has to carry on duty. (I think it was an MP5; I KNOW it was automatic)

They say that "the nail that sticks up will be hammered down." That's true; but then again, nails can't hammer back.

Yeah but how many feet will that nail prick before they do? Those will remember that nail, and why it was there, long after they've been ordered to put it down.

Plus, people ain't nails! We can hammer back!

From comments I've gotten over the years I think I'm more of a Jack then a Ball Peen, but I reckon we need every one and type we can get if we wanna knock some sense into these people.

And even with my exuberant, and repetitive, rantings I've still not converted my kin...

They are Ostrich, hear them roar.

I saw this movie for the first time last night at our local library. I was in shock and mad at what I saw. I encourage everyone to watch this movie. This pushes me more to support ALL of my local farms and other locals who sell produce and other healthy foods.

I wish that it was legal to sell and buy raw milk in Louisiana. Maybe one day.
