What do you think about this?
From the Navy Times
The many nations helping Haiti recover from the devastating earthquake that struck there have set up their own military compounds and fly their flags at the entrances.
France's tricolor, Britain's Union Jack and even Croatia's coat of arms flap in the breeze.
But the country whose contributions dwarf the rest of the world's — the United States — has no flag at its main installation near the Port-au-Prince airport.
The lack of the Stars and Stripes does not sit well with some veterans and service members who say the U.S. government should be proud to fly the flag in Haiti, given the amount of money and manpower the U.S. is donating to help the country recover from the Jan. 12 quake.
The Obama administration says flying the flag could give Haiti the wrong idea.
"We are not here as an occupation force, but as an international partner committed to supporting the government of Haiti on the road to recovery," the U.S. government's Haiti Joint Information Center said in response to a query about the flag.

Are you Prepared for Jail?
I have had this discussion with my family as well as many friends. I am prepared to go to jail. There are some things in life that you must stand up for, things that you are so passionate about that you will refuse to abide a new law that makes little sense. And as long as you hurt no one or destroy property for what you deem is right, you are in the right.
I am prepared to go to jail over NAIS. Have been for a few years now. Some of my fellow homesteaders and ranchers that I have talked to are also prepared to go. We request that we can all be on the same cell block. We realize that we will lose everything if NAIS becomes mandatory and we don't comply with it. But we also know that we will lose everything even if we do comply. There just isn't the money for us to do this thing. With Cap and trade about to be passed, adding an extra $1400 to our utility bills, the extra $45 per animal isn't going to be there. And those of us that raise natural livestock will lose out on that one thing "natural". Not to mention the loss of privacy, and the power the USDA will wield over us.
Wendel Berry had the same thoughts, and told them at a NAIS town meeting.
I understand the principles of civil disobedience, from Henry Thoreau to Martin Luther King. And I’m willing to go to jail to defend the young people who, I hope, will still have a possibility of becoming farmers on a small scale in this supposedly free country. Thanks you very much. (applause, cheers)
Read his entire statement here on Farm-to-consumer Legal defense.
The 13th amendment reads—
Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
I am prepared, Mr Berry is prepared, but are you?

Tractorcade
The farm crisis of the 80's began in the 70's, when the Farm business decrease it's worth from $33 Billion down to $22 Billion. This loss of revenue was caused by crop prices dropping while insecticides and fertilizers, fuel and seed increased in price. Soon the equity of the land dropped, and farms could no longer get loans to get their plants into the ground. Sound familiar?
Currently dairy farmers are facing the same struggles that beef and grain farmers faced in the 70's. The cost of fuel and feed has increased while the price of milk has dropped, hundreds of dairy farms are going out of business because of it. But for now, let's talk about what happened in the past. Let us talk about Parity, not government charity.
President Carter was asked about the tractorcade that was on it's way to the White house. His response was;
The American Presidency Project
She participated in a tractorcade in Georgia. Gloria Carter Spann rode in a lawn chair on top of a tractor owned by her husband. She said, "Farmers are united for the first time, I've never been so proud of farmers."
It is estimated to 5,000-6,000 people drove their tractors hundreds of miles, across the US to the White House in protest of the Farm bill. This movement didn't make any changes in the political engine, it did succeed in a few changes in the Farm Bill, but nothing substantial. What it did do, was show the plight of many American farmers, people began to sympathize with them, it helped farmers create a larger community with in its self.
When foreclosures of farms began happening, many local farmers would attend the auctions, buying the items for mere pennies and then giving it back to the foreclosed owner. This aggravated the local police departments, although the police thought that it was morally wrong to do such a thing, it was not illegal. And for the farmers this was a moral and ethical reaction to what was happening to them.
Today we are in a crisis with our farms. As I stated above, dairy farms are being hit hard, but there is something else looming on the horizon, HR2749.
This bill includes;
Power to Quarantine a Geographic Area; the FDA can also Halt All Movement of All Food in a geographic area.
Random Warrantless Searches of Business Records.
Establishing a Tracing System for Food. This bill reads like NAIS However there is an exemption for farm direct sales.
Severe Criminal and Civil Penalties.
Annual Registration Fee of $1,000.
Regulation of How Crops Are Raised and Harvested.
What I find fascinating is that here you can not file as a farm unless you make $1,000 a year profit.
How will the farmers react to this? Many will inform you that this bill is for the large facilities and not the small farms, however there is a trickle down effect that many people seem to ignore now-a-days. The large facilities must recoup the money they lose from the fees, this is just another added debt to the farmers. You can not impose huge regulations that costs millions if you are not prepared to pass the cost down the line.
He who controls the food, controls the world.

The American Presidency Project
I think as long as they demonstrate their support for our programs— [laughter] or displeasure with some of them legally and peacefully, they'll certainly be welcomed.
I have a background in agriculture, and I meet with many farmers when I go home, both those who register their advice and counsel and criticisms constructively, and the ones who register their advice, counsel, and criticism in a contrary way.
I think that in general, though, the 1977 farm act passed by Congress has been a very beneficial decision made for American farmers. Last year, net farm income went up about 25 percent. The only year that it's ever been that high is 1973, when there were some extraordinary circumstances. And I believe that most of the complaints that originated the American farm movement have now been answered.
We have each year record farm exports. We obviously have not had an embargo against the sale of American products overseas. But I expect farmers—being one of them—always to want better programs, higher parity payments, and so I think they'll be received well.
And I'm sure that there's not the deep sense of indignation and animosity that did exist 18 months ago, because many of those problems that were legitimately described by the American farm movement have now been resolved successfully.
This was untrue. Farmers where only making 66% of viable living cost under the recent Farm Bill. Even Carter's own sister wasn't fooled;She participated in a tractorcade in Georgia. Gloria Carter Spann rode in a lawn chair on top of a tractor owned by her husband. She said, "Farmers are united for the first time, I've never been so proud of farmers."

Kansas Real ID
By now most of us have heard about Real Id. There is a name change going on as well, it will be known as Enhanced Drivers Licences according to the Cato Institute.
As of May 2008, the original deadline to implement Real Id, none of the States were in compliance, and HS has granted and extension to them until December of this year. Even those States that have Bills Passed or in the works to stop Real ID from becoming a reality in the their State.
Kansas doesn't stand out in this debate. The state has been moving toward the Real Id implementation long before the Federal Government came up with the idea. Many of the State's requirement mesh well with those of HS. Putting into place security measures to prevent counterfeiting and personal verification to prevent ID fraud and illegals from obtaining licences. Remember this isn't the Congress's fault, it is actually all on HS.
Unfortunately there is too much private information on the magnetic strips on the back of the cards, worrying many that invasion of privacy and ID theft will occur.
Facial recognition is also part of obtaining a State's ID. Just remember to smile.
If Kansas decides to go forward and implement all the Real ID requirement, what happens to our Sovereignty? Non compliance by December means you will no longer be able to enter federal buildings, and you will have to line up in a separate line at the airport for closer scrutiny.
There is one Coalition dedicated to seeing Real ID disappear altogether and not come back as Enhanced Drivers Licences, Stop Real ID Coalition.

I cling to my gun and my Camus
This hate crime bill has me thinking. How much of a leap will it be for them to start banning books as hate propaganda? It shouldn't take too long. In 1998 Canadian Border Guards seized books, claiming that they were hate material, one of those books was on Irish Fairy Tales.
We talk a lot about our freedoms, our guns, our speech, but what about our literature? We all have different thoughts, and loves, passions and loathings, and there are many of us that express ourselves with the written word. What we read should be up to us, and what a writer talks about should be up to them. Not an over zealous organization or Government entities. This link will take you to who is doing the banning.
I went to the Project Gutenberg website last night and looked up the banned and Challenged books. Project Gutenberg is a wonderful resource for readers. They have free no strings attached, no returns, no fees, un-copyrighted literature for all to see. You can read online, you can download and print and you can even share it with friends without breaking a single law.
Here is a list of the banned or challenged books I found there:
Oliver Twist
Uncle Tom's Cabin
King Lear
Leaves of Grass
The Tailsman
Wildfire
Woman in Love
Richard II
Ulysses
Frankenstein
Don Quixote
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
The Native Son
Song of Solomon
Lysistrata
For a full list of Banned and Contested books you can find lists here at Pelham Library (pdf)
or at Banned and Controversial Books were you can download Thomas Paine's Common Sense free.
"Once a government is committed to the principle of silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and creates a country where everyone lives in fear."
-- Harry S. Truman, message to Congress, August 8, 1950
