Your Tax Dollars At Work

I am so glad to hear that the state of Ohio is not wasting taxpayers' money. Oh not at all. I should have made this one an audio post because I am saying this with extreme sarcasm. Did you read about the Amish Milk Sting? This Amish farmer offers milk to a stranger and because it is raw milk, he is not allowed to share. I might have posted the one link that didn't mention how the Amish man tried to give it away for free but the undercover agent left $2 anyway. So, the farmer is trapped. His way of life requires he share with the community but the law of the land says no, you cannot share with your neighbor. And we paid for this sting. Yes, raw milk is not the safest drink in the world but come on people! The guy is a freakin farmer that wants to give to someone who said he was in need. There are thousands of people without homes and food in this country, children being killed or abused by their parents, public schools that graduate illiterate students, big companies polluting our rivers, oceans and lakes, gangs taking over our inner cities with violent crime and Ohio chooses to nail a farmer for acting neighborly. Way to go! I feel so much safer and confident in the future direction of America.

You've got a better grasp of the priorities than those who are ultimately responsible for such issues do. Good to know there are still people who can put 2+2 together, Daph! But you gotta wonder how things got so a**-backwards these days.

yah gotta watch those sneaky Amish, next they will be teaching children to love God and respect their elders!
I say watch them real close, maybe we could learn something. Stupid cops COULD have been out catching real dangerous criminals.... Ugggh !

Maybe it's a good thing I am not in Ohio anymore....

When we would go to the lake, there was a small amish town that we always went through. We would stop at their roadside stands and purchase their sweet corn or apple butter or even their jellies.....as for the milk sting, unbelievable. I know that our small town could have used more help in watching/catching criminals. We had to downsize because of funding to having only one Sheriff on duty....can you imagine the chaos THAT created. When anything huge happened, you had to wait for assisstance from the nearby city. *shakes head* I just don't get it.
