@ smallpox.. you ain't kidding there darlin

As for enforcing this if it becomes law. I think it would be more like selective enforcement. "Little ole lady with a garden" leave her alone. "Little ole protester with a garden" something extra to charge him with and remove him from society.

I'm not sure why people get all riled up about bills proposed in the House. There are all sorts of wackadoo things brought up for a vote that go absolutely nowhere. This bill has absolutely no legs, nor will it ever. There are a large number of representatives who are completely off their rockers.

I don't know why, but for some reason the info in the first post reminds me of the p-a-t-r-i-o-t act (spaces on purpose so it's harder for bots to find the link). We owned a store when that went into affect and had to develop policies to comply with the law because we sold money orders, cashed checks and had western union. Do you know that I could go to jail for letting people know the law? It was all pretty threatening to me.

Now they want to control my garden? Fine! If it passes I'll keep records and report my tomatoes when they over produce.

People have commented that this is "unenforceable". That's true now. What happens when the government faces decreasing streams of revenue and is forced to shrink? A police state large enough to control a massive country like the US requires huge amount of resources - resources that we simply won't have in the near future (or really even now).

Does the moron who brought up this bill want the people to hate the government or what? (As if they didn't have enough reason already!)
I hope those suggesting this will never get passed are correct; but how easily did the gov ban medical herbs? Seems like another blatant corporate swindle. I'm not in the USA but if I was I would be bombarding every politician I can get a number or email for. This legislation is manifestly evil. What happened to Government For the People By the People? Faaaaark 'Them'. Just 1 step closer to every man/woman for themselves.

a man alleges to have listened to a lecture by a top-level social engineer in the late 1960s. he recollected this lecture orally and a transcription of it was popularized on some tinfoil sites several months ago. he made a comment about food control, and i thought when i read it, 'well, that hasn't happened yet - don't know if this is credible...'

i just looked it up, here's what he had to say:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'F')ood supplies would come under tight control. If population growth didn't slow down, food shortages could be created in a hurry and people would realize the dangers of overpopulation. Ultimately, whether the population slows down or not the food supply is to be brought under centralized control so that people would have enough to be well-nourished but they would not have enough to support any fugitive from the new system. In other words, if you had a friend or relative who didn't sign on, and growing ones own food would be outlawed. This would be done under some sort of pretext. In the beginning I mentioned there were two purposes for everything - one the ostensible purpose and one the real purpose, and the ostensible purpose here would be that growing your own vegetables was unsafe, it would spread disease or something like that. So the acceptable idea was to protect the consumer but the real idea was to limit the food supply and growing your own food would be illegal. And if you persist in illegal activities like growing your own food, then you're a criminal.

Can anyone with Police or Military connections see them enforcing this evil crap? I know quite a few cops and armed forces people who would be siding with the people against the Gov if they try to ram this through.
