<DIV>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. </DIV>

<DIV>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. </DIV>

<P class=yiv1533041516MsoNormal>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?</P></DIV>
