[Vision2020] Illegal Gardening -- Not! and a segue into another subject...

[Sue Hovey]

Yes, and while they are at it, the legislature ought to pass a bill making artificial Christmas trees illegal.  Growing up in barren West Texas I always wanted a perfect tree like I saw in children’s books.  But what we got was a sort of roundish evergreen bush which Dad called a pine tree.  As long as I live here, and am able, I’ll have a real tree “tree,” and I don’t care the mess they make.

      I think they should make it illegal for people to grow potatoes anywhere but Idaho. I think every school lunch and meal served in a restaurant should have some main or side dish made from a potato, such as baked potato, french fries, patriot fries, tater tots, mashed potatoes, potato chips, etc. And Mister Potatohead should go back to using a real potato (everyone seen Toy Story 3 yet?). But that is just the biased Idahoan in me.

        Someone told me today that Congress is about to pass a bill that would make backyard gardening illegal, and organic gardening would be prohibited, slapped with 500,000 dollar fines, etc. I laughed a good one. But I peeked around the web and the notion seems to have taken some root in some corners. So, I read the Bill HR 875 which one forum site cited as the source of these perceived threats to our favorite heirloom tomatoes and string beans. Lo and behold, there is not ONE snip of anything in this particular bill which could be skewed to mean that backyard gardens are in any way threatened, nor are organic farms under attack by a nefarious plot to eliminate the practice. The whole notion is utterly hilarious. One of the sites that mentioned this legislation (which is dated Feb 2009, but who reads bills these days?) was aligned somehow with Rand Paul, but I’ve lost the URL now. Are some folks going totally bonkers?
