Counterpoint: Regulation by Government should never
be encouraged!
We consumers are fools for ever giving an organization as unethical &
incompetent as government any responsibility for our welfare or health
at all. Why should any of us ask the government what is healthy? Do
we think they would tell us if they knew? No, they would rather
unwittingly conduct radiation testing on us, as they now openly
acknowledge was common during the 40s, 50s, and 60s.
Clearly, if the USDA 'organic' label becomes meaningless, the consumer
has not lost all his power. He/She would be better off! Independent certification by HONEST 3rd
Party agencies would then certainly be demanded & used by smart
consumers, as government labels would vanish into a black hole of
oblivion. Your due diligence as a consumer would change, and you would
be weaned off your Uncle's teats.
We as consumers should start acting and thinking like KINGs and quit
thinking of our Government as our masters. They were to be public
servants only--and we were to be masters of our own destiny practicing
Self-Rule. We were not meant to be practicing subjection by hostile
gangs & embezzlers in Sacramento and Washington D.C.
Ignore them! They are fools & crooks & knaves. Let them have their
meaningless organic labels. Once they realize everyone ignores them, maybe
they'll pack up, go home, and take their war toys with them. And, we
can get on with the task of reclaiming our once proud, free, &
delightful country.
The requirement for FREEDOM (something many Americans are afraid of) is
RESPONSIBILITY. Are you brave enough to take responsibility for your
own life? You should be...but only if you are an adult. Children and
other dependents cannot exercise responsibility.
My advice: ignore the government whenever practical. Do not empower
them. Empower yourself and the many honest & ethical people you deal
with daily.... they are your friends, not some slick elected politician
prostituting your freedoms to the highest bidder. Just because the
government says nuclear sludge is 'organic' does not mean you have to
believe it, or eat it. Be an intelligent, aware sovereign individual
enjoying life, liberty and the pursuit of health & happiness. Do not
sell your birthright of freedom for a mess of USDA pottage. The USDA is
easily one of the most corrupt government organizations to ever
blight our planet. Why would you care to even acknowledge or encourage
them?
In Eastern Europe during the past 50 years the common people tried an
experiment of believing and relying upon government thugs for
everything. Government was their God, their parent, and their
provider. They became children as they abdicated the normal
responsibility for their own lives which is the minimum requirement for
adulthood in every culture. Their lives lost all meaning, and finally
they overthrew such a de-humanizing tyranny. Must we in what was at one
time the world's greatest experiment in freedom, go down the same path
to oblivion that Eastern Europe did? Nay. Ignore them! Take
courage! And take responsibility for yourself.
Organic is what YOU define it to be, NOT what the USDA deceives people
into believing.
