Big Brother sees the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man when he looks in the mirror. Of course the goon squad would never get the irony of this all (not saying EITHER is ok – except for the steak as it is their property…but then I guess the food in the home is too). No way to raise kids, no way to run a society.

And who cares what kind of lock they installed?

The lock mechanism is insight into the parents’ state of mind.

A very good modern parable about the price of beef.

I picked up the red Angus heifer today. 712 lbs of processed beef plus all the marrow and scrap bones in a big box for free!

$1300 for the heifer to be delivered to the butcher plus $400 for processing, which included the $50 kill fee. Cash is king right now.

1700/712 is about $2.39 per pound. My freezers and my cup overfloweth, praise God and good friends.

I do not need gravy, I have smug dripping off my chinny-chin-chin.

It was a 60 mile drive on a beautiful day.

I crossed the lovely overflooded Castor River three times.

I listened to updates from Viva Frei about Canada. It is all so sad.

Good story and I applaud you. I’m thinking of doing that where I live, but I’m single and don’t need that much meat. Perhaps share the endeavor with a couple of friends.

Is it a coincidence that despite all the men in these videos, there was not one masculine voice represented?

Everybody talks about kids all being fat these days, but when these parents try to put the brakes on the little buggers porking out they call it “child abuse”.

Liberals have done such a good job of dismantling society, we’re finally achieving utopia. Bet you cash we’re going to lose the TP in stalls, paper towels at the sinks, ketchup and pepper at the fast foodery, and the little pens at the counter will be on chains before too long.
In Poland, 30+ years ago, they used to have these cheap little people’s cafes, called milk bars, where you could get a bite to eat. The utensils and bowls were chained to the table to prevent theft. That’s a low trust society for you.

I don’t get it. Google and Amazon insist that we put cameras in every room in the house so how can it be a crime when you actually follow their instructions? With regards to locking up food, that is no one’s business. Have these people nothing better to do?

Well, this is what the government wants to do to it’s citizens. The parents just got a head start. As long as there is no physical abuse, the gov has no say on how you raise your kids. My mother was very manipulative and mentally abusive. But I must say, it made me stronger and I learned how to be tougher and deal with people in society who are like that. The strong survive.
These kids didn’t like that their friends can eat Oreos, get high and play Xbox at home and they can’t, so they go whining to the cops. “I don’t feel safe!”
“For my safety” is what the cops say right before they cuff you and beat your ass.
These kids are just going to a more comfortable prison run by the gov, that’s all.

If it was only a pair’o bulls, well, the freezer’d be stocked & that’d be that.
