  • "Everything I want to do is illegal" by Joel Salatin

    Want to know what is stopping innovation on the family farm? Want to hear how one farmer is fighting back and winning? I am 3/4's of the way through and this book is a great read!! We all know how messed up the various departments are but man you really get a dose of how illogical they are when you read this book.

    I learned a new phrase "schizophrenic reasoning"

    p. 82

    "For the life of me I can't figure out how liberals who don't believe anything the Pentagon says somehow believe that another department of the government, like the Environmental Protection Agency, speaks the truth. This is an example of schizophrenic reasoning. Every one of these departments has an agenda, and the bureaucrats are not interested in the truth; they are political creatures wanting to expand their power, position, and possessions. People don't become divine or righteous just because they receive a government check and have alphabet soup credentials behind their name.

    And why conservatives who don't believe anything the EPA says would worship the ground the Pentagon walks on is the same kind of schizophrenia. But we polarize each other. If I say the EPA has an agenda and is out to destroy business, I'm howled down as a rabid anti-environmentalist. If I dare to question the policies promulgated by the Pentagon, then I am a pacifist dove who doesn't deserve the freedoms purchased for me by the blood of ancestors.

    I think it's a much more consistent and reasoned approach to distrust everything that comes from the government, and everything that comes from multi-national globalists, and everything that comes from the media and talk show hosts, and everything that comes from mega-charitable organizations. And why do I seem to have such a prejudice against empire guys? Because power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely."

    He has other books that I understand to be just as good. Polyface Farms in Virginia, Shenandoah Valley.

    What a great read and what a great story teller. You can see Joel in various documentaries. Farmageddon and I think Food, Inc.

    Want to learn more about the USDA and how they are the problem with our food then read the book. USDA just checks to make sure the forms are filled out they don't make sure employees wash their hands after going to the bathroom at these huge processing facilities.

    He appears to be a God fearing man that produces high quality food and makes a living doing it.
