The Fruitstand Murders. . .
Here we go again.
More sane and rational legislation from liberal, left-wing, "expand-a-government" Democrats, aka turds.
Yes Virginia, there will be no more fruit stands.
They are a threat to public health and safety and damnit, when in doubt, tax it or fine it or better yet, let's just destroy it all together with stupid laws by stupid people.
Yes, I'm talking about you Rep. Rosa DeLauro from Connecticut. How did you get this job? Oh wait, this from the same state who keeps re-electing Chris Dodd. Nevermind.
I'll have a little more on this later, but first, I would just like to get to know you. No wait, first, I have to go buy some "big" paperclips at the local office supply store that is operated by ignorant and rude people. Gotta loves them paperclips!!
After the recent Peanut Butter/salmonella outbreak the Feds would do better to enforce the laws now on the books than to cook up another slew of bullshit regs designed to run the family farm out of business. No wonder so many people hate our "leaders" in power. A buddy of mine's Father had a family fruit stand business years ago that was regulated out business by the city of Los Angeles in the eighties.
At the same time, you can't walk a block in the city of Los Angeles and not see some kind of push-cart vendor selling everything from Elote (corn on the cob) to Pork Tamales. No health Dept permits for these guys though. Can you imagine how safe an undercooked Pork Tamale is after a hot day on the streets of San Pedro or any other city in Los Angeles? Can you say Trichnosis?
Toast, I believe we are fast approaching a tipping point here in America. We're running out of people to tax and the Tea Parties are evidence. We threw out one set of assholes 230 years ago and it can happen again. It states in our Declaration Of Independence that it's our duty to do so.
