peace23.jpgI am sick and slightly dazed. These are the days where I sort of wish I vetoed that whole I’ll-never-own-a-TV-again thing. There’s only so many choppy youtube videos I can watch before I lose my mind. I have apparently not only a real fever, but cabin fever as well. Maybe that’s why I went all drooly over this image I found…but I don’t care, it’s PREEETTY!

 

Xmas is over! (Alternate title: sorry about the last post, ya’ll!) December 30, 2007

I realized what a downer my last post was, and I think being Miss Doom-and-Gloom was not only uncheery, but not very productive. So!

I’m BACK! And while I’m home sick, I wrote both Senators of the state of Wisconsin (where I’ll be heading soon enough, and also the leading contender of NAIS-lovin’ Senate support) to please oppose the NAIS. And Monday I am following up with a phonecall, as recommended by this site.

I’m urging everyone to do the same! It takes minutes and we can’t sit and give up! This isn’t just for farmers, it’s for everyone who eats and wants to eat healthy. And wants to drink water not polluted by factory farms. Etc, etc, etc! Visit No NAIS for more info, too.

 

NAIS: pure, unadulterated evil. December 21, 2007

If you have any time at all, please read this article.   It’s just a big fat reminder that the people in power have no idea what they’re doing and are completely out of touch with the way the world works.

Or they just really don’t care.

The NAIS is basically an microchip animal identification system, and among many other horrors it’s going to provide, it’s going to be murder on the small farmer. Perhaps the most unsettling thing about it is that it’s proposed as a tool of protection for the people, which is a complete lie. It’s actually all about money. Of course.

I’ve been hearing about the proposed NAIS plan for a while, but, silly me, I thought to myself, that’ll never happen! Pff, that’ll never fly! But the proverbial radio-chipped chicken has flown the coop in some states already, folks.

And this isn’t me just being some radical leftist, either: the public outcry of disgust blurs both the left and right wings together. Because the NAIS basically says that the government owns you. You have no freedom with this. You have no rights.

NAIS is facism, pure and simple.  It defines facism.  We can not let this happen.  It has to stop in its tracks!
