Freedom rally - april 17th

[miznotebook]

Just to clarify slightly, the opinion piece referred to in this thread was a letter to the editor.

I know I have several - driver's license (issued by a state but used by law enforcement and security nationwide and for interstate travel), passport, and Social Security.

Having lived where you have to register with the police upon arrival, are supposed to carry those registration papers with you 24/7, and the homeless guy living in the alley is there because he had his papers stolen and is in bureaucratic limbo, I have much bigger concerns than an ID card - especially when one from the US is basically a golden ticket abroad. :roll:

Maybe Aleo can get us a link for the letter to the editor - my paper already got pitched. My guess is that if they had left off the last half most of Sowal would agree with what they were saying.....................but they kept talking.

I thought we already had a national id card. Its called a social security card? I swear, people will get upset over anything. I look forward to reading the article in the Herald. Perhaps they caught pictures of Andy overturning cars....again! ;-)

Sorry, DI. I am really not that strong ANY longer. Besides, now I am starting a revolt against the FDA. Now they want to tell food manufacturers how much salt they can put it their product. I happen to like salt especially at my ripe old age where my taste buds are deteriorating. (I think this is known as a thread hijack, so back to the subject at hand.)

Well, there is a simple solution to your quandary Andy! Just take your food down to the beach and dip it into the ocean every other bite and you should find the precious salt quantities are replenished! The added ambience of the waves and nature should be considered a perk. ;-)

So is this the end of pickles or bacon then?

(Hmmmm pickle bootlegging could become quite a lucrative hobby)

The FDA working with food manufacturers to slowly reduce the amount of sodium over a 10 year time period is not palate Armageddon. :roll:

Merely reducing our salt intake by 1/2 (aka getting it close to the maximum recommended) would save 150,000 lives a year.

In other news, the MILITARY is jumping into the fray on school lunches/proper nutrition because more than 25% of their recruiting pool is too fat to serve.

Well, mine ain't one of them! Let the government leave me alone to die in my own time and any way God intends for me to do so.

Not to continue the hijack, but my epitaph on my headstone is going to read...

"Here lies the body of Singinchicken
He may have died young
But his food tasted good"​

I need my salt!

"Pickle bootlegging" sounds like it belongs in the urban dictionary.
