Dear reader
The night of
November 3, 2005 was somewhat down casting. With two of my sons and a

THE
LATEST TYRANNY: TAGGING TERRORIST CHICKENS
Have you heard about
the National Animal Identification System (NAIS)? The radio ads feature
a “farmer” telling us how hard it is to make a living farming today -
harder than it was for Momma and Daddy. Worse yet, now we’ve got the
risks of all these new diseases. But - golly, golly, gee -- the
government is going to help. They’ve come up with a voluntary
program to register our farms and animals to protect us and our animals
from diseases. All good Americans will sign up.

QUESTIONS: ABOUT THE NATIONAL ANIMAL ID SYSTEM (NAIS)
What is the NAIS?
A scheme hatched by the federal government and corporate agribusiness to
tag every animal in the US with an identity number and to track every
animal through processing. The excuse for it is the discovery of two
cases of mad cow disease (BSE or bovine spongiform encephalopathy).
