A friend of mine sent this to me tonight.

Due to the climate of political correctness[SIZE=3] now pervading America,
Kentuckians, Tennesseans and West Virginians will no longer be referred to
as'HILLBILLIES.' ....
You must now refer to them as APPALACHIAN-AMERICANS .

I feel slighted...as if my heritage has been taken...

I feel violated...my space and my being...Can I go before the Supreme Court and sue somebody...My rights have been taken...

Seems in an effort to demonstrate how "humane" they are, they'd go to the local pounds and adopt the dogs about to be euthanized. They then killed them themselves, and were caught dumping the bodies in a dumpster. Dog Politics: Better Off Dead - PETA On Shelter Dogs

I don't have a digital camera anymore. Mine fried. I'll see if my daughter can bring her's by and get a pic. The hat is multi colored and probably resembles a brightly collored parrot with the puffy things on the top of it. I should have known that it was not an appropriate hat to wear to the coop but it keeps my head warm and the temps are dropping here! I love our roo. I felt bad because he was so upset!

I'm not a bit PETA fan. This seemed to be a media event. A real social change agency would have taken the evidence to the governmental agency doing oversight and not to the AP. It kind of reminds me of the beginning scene of the move Independence Day. Bruce Willis is yelling about the Greenpeace ship harassing his oil rig. And how much fuel does it take to run one of those ships?

Hey, if you want to sue someone, sue me! I'm in line, for sure. My other post about the law suit? I found a lawyer who is way more incompetent than I am. He won't answer my calls and at least give me my papers back so that I can file them myself.

there is something really messed up here. What happened to the good old days when people just worked out there problems by talking to each other? I can't even get a phone call answered.

But hey, I'm better off than that turkey, right?

So much of our news is staged...It's like producing a show with filler peices to take up some of the time...That was someones idea and it was staged...

When I was a kid we used humane ways to slaughter our animals...the hogs were shot through the ear into the brain and the cattle were shot through the forehead.
The slaughter houses used a sledgehammer at that time..and we considered that to be cruel.
The turkeys were done by wringing there knecks and the chickens got the hatchet on a poplar board.

The animals had a purpose then and were not so much a part of the family...

If I sue you and win...could we split the pot? and act as self appointed counsel....the government would provide the legal fees if we applied for a Grant. I love Law...Its a Win...Win..Win situation.

Yes the law is a win win situation. I may loose the battle but the war is more important! That, I will keep fighting for.

this experience has opened my eyes. I paid 2,000 dollars. I refused to pay the last 800. They file a suit against me for the rest of the money. It goes to court and the taxpayers get to pay the court staff, the judge and the guy who cleans the floors at the courthouse. they can sue me all they want but I'm broke other than a henhouse full of chickens and a sow.

oh, and a couple of old mules who used to work the farm in the 70's and are organizing a civil rights group of their own! No more harnesses for them!

Hey now. Soylent Green is one of my all time favorite movies! I think this was made before Charlton Heston fell and bumped his head.

We went up on the "hill" today to see what tops were down after the logging last year. My 9 year old thought she saw bigfoot prints! I try very hard to shelter them from the media but I guess I missed something on this one.

Hey, that's only right. Why should we be the only group left that it's OK to make fun of.

Default Another Turkey Story

Once again, from one of my high school classmates...

------

A game warden was driving down the road when he came upon a young boy carrying a wild turkey under his arm.

He stopped and asked the boy, "Where did you get that turkey?"

The boy replied, "What turkey?"

The game warden said, "That turkey you're carrying under your arm."

The boy looks down and said, "Well, lookee here, a turkey done roosted under my arm!"

The game warden said, "Now look, you know turkey season is closed, so whatever you do to that turkey, I'm going to do to you.

"If you break his leg, I'm gonna break your leg. If you break his wing, I'll break your arm. Whatever you do to him, I'll do to you. So, what are you gonna do with him?"

The little boy said, "I guess I'll just kiss his behind and let him go!"
