I Never Liked the Circus

I wanted to just pen a light hearted blog today. Something has been on my mind for a couple of days and I wanted to share my perspective. There is a town in Vermont that makes the news once in a while because they have no ordinance against public nudity. Once in awhile a headline about that town makes one of my news sources. Well, finally the town is considering an ordinance. The ordinance isn't over rowdy teens or youthful indecency, it's because a 60 some year old man made a point of allegedly exhibiting himself. Isn't that nice. These seniors are just determined to ruin everything for everyone. They have special discounts, special menu items, special days to shop at a discount, and all of us working our fingers to the bone so they can get their monthly checks and spend half of at least one day a week in the waiting room of some doctor, that is also provided by we the taxpayers; and all the while arguing vehemently against a socialist society. Wow, it finally occurred to me, socialized anything would give the rest of us the same benefits they enjoy. I say, in light of all this special treatment for being a senior, they should realize they "deserve" special treatment in this little Vermont town, and keep their clothes on!
Now, on to more urgent matters.
While the Senate gave speeches, snoozed, and showed off for themselves last night, to accomplish nothing; the executive branch of our government didn't losing any sleep. He seemed particularly confident in his new executive order today. I don't know why the Senate and House can't see that they are merely props that accomplish nothing and keep the focus distracted. Senate and the House are like the jugglers in the circus. They are entertaining, even fascinating for a time, but they are certainly not center ring in this three ring circus.
Here is the point I would have a "drum roll"
And in the center ring, we have Fearless George. He is going to perform for us, a feat that has not yet been tried on our soil. Although, we have had presidents that pay farmers not to produce crops, we've not had one, til now that seems so passionate about total control in every area. Our FDA has been answerable to a point to the legislative branch, and America used to produce more than it consumed, but that is no longer the case.
Our food supply is now in the hands of the executive branch of the government. He has now established a food safety panel for imported food, that directly answers to the Health and Human Services Secretary. And the FDA is closing a large number of their laboratories. Coincidence? Perhaps to the exceedingly faithful neo-con extremists . . .
We do, of course, realize that most of our food is imported, and what isn't, is genetically modified. What does that mean to the average consumer? We don't yet know the future long term effects of all this disorder against the statutes and natural laws of G~d, but what we can glean from history would be this:
Absolute Power is in the hands of those that hold the food supply.
. . . buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants . . . Torah of Holy Scripture
