What I'd like to know is, why aren't all farmers in North America greeting agents from the various State Agricultural Departments and Provincial Agricultural Ministries with a shotgun. What was that old Greek expression? "Molon Labe"?

Sooner or later, we're all Randy Weaver.

Or Tom Parsons from "Nineteen Eighty-Four."🤔

None of these people succeeded.

Sooner or later we all need to be Geroge Washington or John Adams etc.

My feeling/guess--- and that's all it is, is a feeling/guess-- is that much of the enforcement of these insane ideas is sporadic at best and dependent on the politics of the state. In some states I suspect that attitude is: "yeah, we're not doing that here." Sort of the same outlook many law enforcement agencies have re: g*n confiscation. "Yeah, we're not doing that here."

Plus... how many people do they have on staff for enforcement? I know that there are very few FDA inspectors, and I can't imagine that the state agricultural departments have staff to visit every farm large and small to enforce compliance.
