  • thats ridiculous, they lock up people for selling healthy natural products but yet there is no-one going after all these multimillion dollars pharmaceutical companies and doctors who create more diseases than anything with their untested meds, vaccines & cancer causing equipments like ct xray machines.

  • Any update to this? I can't belive there are only 35k views and only a few vids on this topic.

  • Ron Paul 2012

  • It's illegal for us to grow our own food? Let's all do something revolutionary and grow a veggie garden and sneak goats and chickens into our backyards. I'll start...

  • I'm caught in the middle here, I think raw foods can be a choice but either private or public membership does not matter. As a business stand point he catered to a select consumer and we have rights to eat whatever we want. But I think the FDA is right and wrong. They are right to push regulations meet standard and safety like the eggs temperature. But as far as milk than since it's not process than each batch needs testing along with documents. It will cost such business too much money, t

  • Sounds like a lot of milk in inventory. What reason is there for an inventory that large.

  • LOL! what a bunch of hippies out there in California. Do as your told and you won't get hurt..simple as that

  • @ScreamingInAPaperCup

    Really? Several people? How about an exact #.....your're freestyling.

  • Why don't they raid monsanto and arrest everyone? monsanto is playing god with Mother Nature's food source of earths inhabitants...and I'm not just talking about the human inhabitants. F#ck monsanto and f#ck the corrupt old farts in the government.

  • @ScreamingInAPaperCup Yes, that evil EVIL raw milk. Tobacco and Alcohol kill more people in a day than raw dairy has in 50 years, yet they remain legal, while raw milk is outlawed. Don't you see anything wrong with that?

  • @sprice676 I agree completely.

  • If you look at that again, you'll see the source of the

    milk was not a professionally maintained dairy farm.

  • SAVE Rawsome foods! ............FIGHT!  POLITICALY DEMAND YOUR CONSTITUCIONAL RIGHTS...THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE!!!

  • Looks like he should have just gotten the permits since, you know, he spent 30-40,000 dollars on produce. It's not like the fucking outlawed selling raw milk anyways, they only got in trouble because he didn't have any permits. If he ran a legitimate, professional dairy farm he should have had no problem getting one.

  • The whole argument that food should be eaten as nature provided is completely ignorant. If you are against 'processing of any kind', then you should logically advocate drinking water from any source. When you purify water you are intentionally performing a 'process' on it to and altering it make it safe for human consumption. Raw milk carries a significant risk of infections by E Coli, Salmonella, and Listeria, among other dangers. He could have sold goat milk, but refused to get the permit. WTF

  • @zonepatroller Nice ideal, but just that. An ideal. There are always going to be rotten eggs (no pun intended), no matter what.

  • they call the way you're supposed to live and eat an "alternative life style"... some things in America are just upside down

  • Most ( if not all ) of the "hippies" I know are statists. They express surprise and wonder when the state that they love, worship, and promote rises up and bites them on the ass. They want the state to control "those other people" not themselves. After all, they have good intentions.

  • @zonepatroller too late....were already the governments lab rats....we have been permanent sheep for years

  • Fucking hippies got what they deserve.

  • AMERICANS ARE TREATED AS LITTLE CHILD....WHEN WILL YOU GROW UP?....YOU GUYS DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT BEFORE YOUR ROTTEN SYSTEM EXPANDS TO MEXICO ...WE DONT WANT YOUR WALMART GMF.S AND BE FAT LIKE YOU

  • @playadelucas As bad as America's problems are, I don't think anyone from Mexico is in a position to criticize. When the common people can't protect themselves from the drug cartels because of anti-gun laws made by the corrupt government that won't/can't protect them either, and the people can't revolt for the same reason, I feel no envy for the Mexican political system.

  • @Shanockdotcom: Im not saying mexico is better ..Sorry my comment awakened some proud sense in your being! Do not evade the fact that legaly speaking your police have the right to tase gun your ass if you question or photograph a policeman... with your new reformed constitucion being changed against the american people while they watch the nfl,nba,mlb,hollywood, media making special reports about ladygaka's nose fix.

    The drug war is among cartels..at least I have the right to choose myfood

  • @playadelucas Yes, you did say Mexico is better. That doesn't bother me, though; national pride is nothing to be ashamed of. The problem is the offensive and childish way in which you said it. My point is that those in glass houses should not throw stones. So long as the Mexican people are fleeing over the border *to* America, your criticisms and insults aren't going to impress anyone. Worry about fixing your own country, first.

  • @Shan SORRY You get insulted but your police is insulting you more..Yes in mexico there are bigger problems 3rd world country ,failed state whatever you like.. USA even beat mexico in soccer... my point is. if our developed neighbour country is turning like that ..what is to be expected? No one does anything but watch tv?.we will have not dairy cheese but cheddar industrialized soylent green chili cookies. Check on the United Nations ..FAO "CODEX ALIMENTARIUS" WILL RULE YOUR GROCERY STORES!

  • @playadelucas Whoa, excuse me? Mexico is a failed state, you people can hardly do anything for yourselves! And Walmart sells more food in Mexico than anyone else, you people BEGGED for Walmart!

  • @playadelucas You should really be welcoming US involvement with Mexico. You guys are in a pretty shitty state right now, and you can't even walk the streets without getting your fucking organs ripped out and hung from a bridge.

  • This is getting Ridiculous. Just because these people dont want to eat monsantos food they get raided....FUCK! RAAAGE!

  • the only thing that will save this country is a nuke dropped on washington dc. nothing against the normal people living there, just the shitstains on captial hill.

  • The state of California is all about gouging companies for money to keep their union-staffed agencies running. Leave California now!!

  • Comment removed

  • No one has ever heard of milk poisenig before have they?

  • The LAPD are the brown shirts of the southland

  • Why aren't there more hippie/libertarians? The two go together so well!

  • @HamsterFueledRocket because hippies don't understand the economic side of libertarianism. i know a lot of hippies, math isn't generally their strong suit.

  • @HamsterFueledRocket Yea sure, one loves dirty food and the other hates regulations. Should get on like a house on fire.

  • they are getting messed with because they are harmless, they are unarmed domesticated cattle and they are being treated as such

    if these people walked around with AK's and AR's while they got their organic foods the cops wouldn't F*ck with them

  • where can I get raw milk

  • I think it's fair to say that if you believe life in America is bad now just wait and see in a few more years. As a veteran it saddens me greatly to think America has been lost to special interest groups and large corporations. I mean if Warren Buffet is on tv talking about the special treatment he and his friends get what does that tell you.

  • This is just sickening. I knew there was a reason I didn't like this country (USA). This just adds to the lists of why the USA sucks big time

  • lul

  • To have the government decide what foods you can eat reminds me more of how things work in a communist society rather than how it's supposed to work in the good 'ol US of A. Where will it end? The power of government agencies are totally out of control. We have the worse economic times in 70 years, and the government spends our tax dollars to destroy $40,000 worth of healthy food? WTF??!!!

  • We are tax slaves, it is not about food safety. It is about taxes, regulations and permits. Follow the money! Our government at all levels has become a criminal cartel to extort revenue from the people. The Mafia doesn't compare to our government, they have so called law on their side.

  • When will the people say "enough is enough" ? The govt doesn't have the constitutional power to determine what we eat!!! It's tyranny, plain n simple!!!

  • You need to know both sides of the story

    unhealthyfamilyfarm dot com

  • If there were no market for these products, then Rawsome Foods wouldn't exist! If these people purchase this food and get sick it's at their own parol!

  • Raw milk can make you very sick, It can kill you or make you sick for the rest of your life. Read about "undulant fever" . Farmers used to get it from drinking "fresh"

    raw milk from cows right after milking. The disease can also pass through to nursing babies through their mother's milk.

  • @aldenbuzz Then don't drink it.

  • i bought milk from there before...and threw up, got sick, and had diarrhea for 3 days.

    Don't buy from there, raw milk is unhealthy

  • Why does everyone seem to think they are in the right? They obviously failed to meet food and health regulations or even apply for a permit. Just cause they sell unprocessed food doesnt mean they didnt do anything wrong. Non pasturised milk can be lethal.

    Go do it right and stop whinning when you get caught doing it illegally

  • @holydogable perhaps we shouldn't need to have a nanny state that "protects" us by too many laws and regulations - maybe that's what the fight is about. You don't need to eat/drink/buy the stuff they are selling but some people do. If there's a market for the products, then let them sell.

  • 5 fluoride victims voted this down.

  • TIME TO SUE THE FDA! I hope the government does go broke. - No more money for the FDA idiots...

    NO Government = Freedom

  • DROP THE MILK OR ILL SHOOT!

  • Fuck the police

  • that chick just changed my mind about hippies...

  • @mhstz You sound like a good little Nazi!

  • This all boils down to monsanto's profit margins. Who runs America? Corporations do. That's called Fascism!

  • I don't support dairy farms but the raiding of any health food store is a dangerous precedent -- this is like the DEA raiding legal medical cannabis clubs. Aside from the raw milk and eggs (which are unnecessary for good health and entail the use and potential abuse of animals*), this is actually really a concealed War on Plants.

    *See video of family dairy farm "Conklin Dairy Farm"

  • I'm glad the government raided this place. What a bunch of hippies. Santa Monica is home to a bunch of rich jerks who like to think they are environmentalist and liberalist. If they want fresh milk move out of Cali and go to the midwest you yuppies

  • @acenspades Is it you Cartman?

  • @acenspades

    Are you aware that a yuppie is "A well-paid young middle-class professional who works in a city job and has a luxurious lifestyle"?

  • @mhstz Didn't find that website, but did find info on repackaging food consistent with what you describe at visionsgreencom blog post: Update: More on Rawsome Foods Bust. Regulating raw milk is important, too lax regulation leads to people getting ill and killed. At least Reason TV provides the prosecutors office press release, the vid is propaganda.

  • We need to gather and arrest those responsible, citizens. Including the judge, the officers and the others that are guilty. Then, a lawsuit needs to be filed against those that participated in this raid.

  • When laws become unjust, resistance becomes duty.  Thomas Jefferson.

  • our Govt gives millions of dollars in weapons and training to the los zetas drug xartel. ships in heroin from Afganistan. and counless other crimes. gmos mutate our dna

    , makes us sterile and gives us cancer.

    and raids raw organic food coops. our govt

    has declared war on our health, well being and our safety. this is just an extension of eugenics. facism is here.

  • sharon palmer =my mother without her here we are alone we miss her so much i love my mom she is a hard working determined women she didnt have any wrong in this the FDA has continued t2 effect our family and business. they are ruining lives including myn

  • +/- $500K in bail money for being raw foodists? Back off government! You don't need to protect people from making their own informed choices! Just another case of power-hungry bureaucrats with guns going after those who don't have a way to fight back. Our country has been destroyed by self-aggrandizing, large-government worshiping malcontents.

  • fuckin disgusting

  • Even the hippies will join the Tea Party.

  • And since FDA apoligists choose to want to make this into a federal issue let's just see what the supreme law has to say:

    9th amendment: The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

    10th amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

  • just...wow

  • I am glad the government stepped in and used tax payer money to get these criminals off the streets. Now I can sleep sounder and my kids can play in the yard without fear...

    Give me a break. You have violent, discusting people out there hurting others and they focus on raw milk...

  • this is how they kill small business men and woman, with California high unemployment rate we see the democrats in power doing everything in their power to kill small business. this is what liberalism dose to prosperity what what liberals do to those who seek to rise above to create wealth and jobs, in america only the big corporations can survive to fight the laws suits the government brings on them which only forces them to raise their prices and the public gets screwed.

  • What's with the jackbooted thug waving his gun around at 0:05? Does he think he's clearing a room in Afghanistan instead of a hippy food store? What an asshole.

  • silly hippies, what do you think this is America or something

  • OMG! Could raw food become illegal like cannabis but controlled like tobacco? Is this the natural extension of capitalism?

  • @PoincianaHome It is the natural extension of regulation

  • This is your massive government at work folks. It very likely these government agencies have to justify their massive, bloated bureaucracies, so they look for someone who might not have all his papers in order. (Unproven at this point). Then they spend a yearlong investigative "undercover sting" operation. How many hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars did they spend to catch these people selling cheese? Even if they don't have all the papers in order what justifies this overkill?

  • The FDA will let you die  "Burzynski The Movie"

  • They deserved to be raided and everything confisicated, they were operating the store without a PERMIT. You don't hear them arguing that they had a license or permit, so they obviously were operating the store illegally. They deserve everything that happens to them. Thats the law and if they were smart they would have had a license.

  • @TheGBPM you work for the government huh, i can tell cuz all you guys do is argue about shit that dont even make sense.

  • @TheGBPM

    obviously this is an FDA employee who fucks with small farmers when he isn't wasting time at work commenting on youtube videos.

  • @fourkicks

    FDA fucks with people who break the law. The people of Rawesome foods didn't have a permit. They pleaded guilty because they knew they were guilty. Go drive a car without a license and find out what happens to you and your car.

  • @TheGBPM the law is arbitrary and unconstitutional.

    "mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security." - Thomas Jefferson speaking for us all

  • @TheGBPM

    What is the rationale behind a law that requires an individual to get permission from government to engage in voluntary trade with his own resources, with another individual who is aware of the attributes and risks associated with the resources for which he is trading?

  • @copycat042

    You're problem is the law, don't argue with me about the law, if you don't like it change it.

  • Welcome to the New America folks!

    This is just the beginning of Totalitarian Fascism and Crony-Corporatism being fomented by Big Brother and Big Business to destroy any and all small business owners. This will and is happening all across America and we MUST stand and fight these tyrannical thugs and expose them and spend every waking minute informing EVERYONE who will listen!

    WE ARE AT WAR!!! THIS IS WAR! Do you get it?!!

    It's time to stand and draw YOUR line in the sand and be heard!

  • For the Rawesome people, this is the whey to go.

  • Most of the world doesn't refridgerate eggs, they last for a couple of weeks without refridgeration.

  • Better check your fridge temp. If your storing eggs at an unspecified temp...

  • Whats the problem here?

    Papers please. 

  • Need to get a few hundred eggs and throw them at the court officials

  • what a coincidence. NO IT IS NOT! this is evidence!

  • See...

    what foods they eat and what medicines they take,

  • 2:55

  • You all need to watch Police State 2000,Police State 2,3&4.These documentaries cover the last 12 yrs of police training including foreign troops training on US soil to disarm and round up American citizen's,it also show's black opps helicopter's dropping troops on sherrif's department's training to disarm and remove sherrif's from their duties and much much more.If you really care about America you should take this as a wake up call,the rabbit hole only get's deeper from here!!!

  • People should have the right to choose raw over processed, but the raid was in good reason, as licensing and laws only exist to protect us. if you think you have the right to do something, but it's illegal, you should protest the law, not disobey the law to protest it in court.

  • They should be focused on agribusiness like Cargill, who are the ones that are selling contaminated foods. The government is corrupt. The fucking Democrats get everything they deserve for supporting these assholes.

  • fucking motherfuckers i hate these cunts

  • I am glad that I am not a policeman or ever had been one becase of all the innocent people put in jail that is now out and all the drug arrests that are out and all the brutality that the police have committed & hurt many other people by lying and putting them in jail there must be millions of very angry people when shit hits the fan they will hunt police down like a dog with rabies and cut his head off and put it a pole police and armed and retarded they R cowards

  • Let them sell raw products, after they sign a legal wavier that states they are legally responsible for all health costs of their consumers if they contract some of the many pathogens and parasites that pasteurization kills. I am all for freedom of choice, just not freedom from consequences like they want.

  • @neotruekaiser There might be some slight, remote inkling of logic to your argument, if the Federal Government were raiding tobacco, alcohol and junk food factories and forcing people to sign waivers before consuming those products. Those aren't raided is because those are multi billion dollar industries, while Rawesome is this little, private collective that has no power, no lobby, no battalion of lawyers and far reaching connections. Factually, raw foodists aren't less healthy than others.

  • this is not America this is not freedom

    what happened to freedom of choice if you dont want to eat this type of food dont this is what we did is a human race before the fda and other man made organizations

    destroy this modern world before it destroys us

    back to the old school back to your roots

  • this is not America this is not freedom

    what happened to freedom of choice if you dont want to eat this type of food dont this is what we did is a human race before the fda and other man made organizations

    destroy this modern world before it destroys us

  • It would be quite interesting to hear the actual reasons for wanting to shut down Raw food intake. I've consumed enormous amounts of questionable foods and have never been sick yet frequently feel uncomfortably unwell when consuming processed foods. Hmm?

  • So now, what's all the bullshit I keep hearing about this being a free country?!

    These people are probably the most harmless human beings on the planet and they're getting thrown in prison and charged with felonies for providing other people with food that they want. Did Webster change the definition of "freedom" without telling anybody?

  • @DougShatter Well put sir

  • @DougShatter Don't you know, peaceful people do not have freedom. You gotta take it.

  • @DougShatter , I've been saying that for decades, and at every turn I was always called anti-American and blah blah blah. Now, people are finally waking up. I was just ahead of the curve. And hell yes, I'm anti-American if this is the kind of stuff that is going to be the norm. McDonalds sells the equivalent of heroin to kids and the gov't doesn't do anything, yet these people are being thrown in jail for what -- providing food that isn't infused with toxins, preservatives, synthetics..?

  • government is out of control.........i don't want any government agency teliing me what i can't eat.....no way......this has to stop.

  • sold to an undercover agent. if it's a private members club, the undercover agent wouldn't have been able to buy unless he was a member of the club. simple legal slip up. not that the raid is moral. it isn't. but the reality is the state exists and you have to deal with this reality.

  • Free to do what we tell you.

  • SO SAD!! When will we be able to eat what we choose to eat. SO much more I could say but wont. I am really choosing to believe it wont be long when we can choose what we want.... harm none, hold harm to none.... bless bless bless

  • So...get the proper permits and properly label the food products. Idiots.

  • Learn to turn these prosecutions around, and make them pay you a lot of money:

    wssic dot com

    1215 dot org

  • Gross hippies... thats some nasty eats...

    but kinda ridiculous that the government says you cant eat whatever crap you want..

  • Did they arrest the chickens for laying their eggs at an "improper temperature"??? I sure hope so those dangerous fowl!!

  • This is what the once great state of California has degenerated into, a nanny state, a broke nanny state. The irony is all of those swampy (smelly old hippies) wannabes probably religiously vote democrap party. Something poetically just about that.

  • They better raid all McDonalds, and charge their owners with health endangering, but no... they are rich and do what they want, no one can touch them

  • this is fucking disgusting.

    it's food for fucks sake.

    amerika, you're really fucked.

  • You know, raw milk sounds dangerous to me, it's not something I'd choose. But for crying out loud, don't those clowns in the DA's office have anything better to do than make choices for people, and punish the "wrong choices.?"

  • @PJKellyEsq People have been drinking raw milk for hundreds if not thousands of years. Why is it all of a sudden dangerous?

  • @scottsolinko The risk of listeria, e coli and salmonella are not new. To me, pastuerization is a no brainer. But again, to me it is also a no brainer to allow people who view the risk differently to do what they want. Have at it!

  • There is no reason to raid a food co-op using the LAPD and SWAT team other than to justify the expensive weapon purchase they made over the years. This is a poor use of resource in light of rampant crime in the downtown, skidrow, which are within sight the LAPD headquarter.

  • This is sickening to see. Why do these cowardly stormtroopers have guns to raid a guy selling milk? The USA should rise up against such totalitarianism. People are entitled to eat whatever suits them -- its none of the government's business. The War Against Milk must end!!!

  • Seems like the raw food was not the problem, but the licensing was.

  • Liberals/Progressives/Marxists voted for MORE gov't to provide "social justice" and "fairness".

     "A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have," "The course of history shows that as a government grows, liberty decreases,"

    Liberals voted for MORE gov't, and they whine when THEY are the targets of that Bit Gov't!

    Boo Hooo

    Watch: "Statism's Assembly Line" here on YouTube!

    Be careful what you ask for!

  • @yakyakyak69

    youre a moron. if you dont understand the difference between wanting social services and having police all up in your privacy. ironically, its republicans/conservatives that have called for smaller government but under GWB the government grew dramatically as well as the invasion of your personal privacy with the suspension of habius corpus. are these guys stupid? yep. should they be allowed to die of bacteria? yep. btw, whats a 'bit' government?

  • @pezcore68 Bush is NOT a Conservative! He is a PROGRESSIVE NeoCon aka Statist who grew gov't power & debt faster than ANY Republican president in history!

    Redistribution (individual or corporate), the EVIL child of Hubris & Envy is Pandora's Box, when opened it makes SLAVES of the taxed, DEPENDANTS of the recipients, TYRANTS of the powerful and CRONIES of the politicians all in the name of "helping" some by enslaving others.

    Want "social justice"... Stop using crony politicians to STEAL!

  • @yakyakyak69 Excellent post. Keep spreading the word!!!

  • Comment removed

  • This was a MAFIA style hit by ECONOMIC TERRORISTS. THERE IS NO MIDDLE GROUND. FDA=MAFIA THUGS BOUGHT OUT BY MONSANTO

  • We blow civilians to smithereens half way around the world. Not allow the levels of radiation to be monitored, as a steady stream blows over continually. Moronic, pathological, lying politicians allow our future and our children's future to be decimated. I'm glad the State found the time to go after raw milk. Your Government is protecting you, you can now go back to sleep America.

  • @jloppy This Country is run by Gangsters.

  • We have many options that don't include violence. Getting the word out and people voting the right way for starters. If you get into a war with law enforcement, you'll just end up looking guilty and either dead or in prison. We need to change the system, and it can be done legally.

  • "You have the power to make the choice for me."

    I have never said that and I don't think I ever will.

  • Pure mafioso...tyranny...nothing but... Once you realize we are NOT in a democracy or a republic...but a fascist corpratocracy, tyranny...you will look at this country much differently. Most courts and law enforcement are corrupt...run by the banks....

  • I am more afraid of the police that I am of the criminal because it's against the law to protect yourself from the police but you can blow a criminals away a policeman can kill or hurt you bad and nothing is done about it they are above the law is proven thousands of times where they have killed or hurt innocent people so I am more comfortable been around a criminal than I am around police the police will hurt you or give you a $500 ticket to help their gods the city state or the rich elite

  • It's going to take violence to get our country back I'm tired of hearing this nonviolence BS the ruling class and Obama preaches nonviolence but they have 4 wars going if nonviolence works why are we at war it doesn't work the reason King and Gandhi preached nonviolence because they did not have an Army I am glad George Washington and our founding fathers believed in violence that's how we got our country so if preach nonviolence you are against George Washington way of thinking

  • Storing eggs at an improper temperature is a felony?

    The only thing they did wrong was to lie on their labels, assuming the allegations to be true.

    Let people sell what they want, as long as they're honest about it. Licenses and permits are BS.

  • Another fine example of liberal policy at it's best.

  • the laws the law bitches get over it.

  • the f.d.a. allows the sales of the most harmful food knowen to man to make you sick for there big pharma buddys, so its clear why they want good places like rawsome closed down, goverment and big corporations working together=fascism by benito mussolini

  • So. . .it's a four count felony deserving an armed raid. . .to sell milk.

    I woke up this morning and my America was gone.

  • Nobody is forcing you to buy raw milk. Hence there is no crime.

    SWAT team should raid the White House. The guy who lives there is peddling and FORCING people to buy health insurance.

  • when are people going to wake up to the fact that this oppression will continue until we reach critical mass? we're going to have to protect the freedom to eat what we want the same way we've protected our freedom (or failed to do so) since the founding of this country. It's long past time for key pillars to fall.

  • More power to the people behind this co-op to fight this on whatever levels. A battle needs to be waged here....

  • More power to the people behind this co-op to fight this on whatever levels. A battle needs to be waged here.

  • Seriously....? Swat team to raid a food shop?  Government has their priorities all wrong here.

  • @eleganz I think swat teams have seen an increase in use of something like a 2000% increase over the past 2 decades. They shot a 2 tour iraqi war vet 23 times a couple months ago searching for drugs. He had no convictions. They found no drugs. Now he has 2 children and a wife left behind. He had a gun but had just woke up and thought someone was breaking in.

  • Any one potentially spreading TB by raw milk needs some jail time.

  • OH NO! Those Bastards! They're making a living selling a product! How could they!

  • @Matthewman64 Oh lord, you're still in your teens. Tell you the truth, I didn't care enough to go profile-clicking. I think that you think most Americans are a lot smarter & responsible than they actually are, when in reality, most people in this country are complete morons. Actually most people anywhere are complete morons. I don't think you're one of these people. You're just young & overly-idealistic. You'll grow out of it & realize these dreams of govt-free diseased water were very silly.

  • sickening

    

  • The authorities broke the law by dumping 800 gallons of milk down the regular drain system. The California Department of Natural Resources, the jurisdiction's water/sewer district and the EPA should investigate that and make sure they enforce the law against the polluters ( not the Rawesome Food Club that was vandalized and ripped off)

  • @Matthewman64 I nailed it on that age thing, didn't I? Anyway, the tyranny of driver's, business, & liquor licenses? LOL. When you're older you'll realize that there has to be a record of ownership for a multitude of reasons that has absolutely nothing to do with oppression or invasion of privacy. Much of it actually benefits YOU & maintains order & safety. It's cute that you'd prefer we all just drive around without plates so if our cars are stolen they can't be recovered. Oh to be young again.

  • @Matthewman64 So when I asked what decade you're not even talking about any time remotely recently. You literally want to go back to the form of govt America had in the late 1700s/early 1800s. You're either really young or really old, but definitely not in between. That is seriously not a reasonable way to think about the world. I don't mean to be rude, but it's not...it's like the thoughts of a crazy person. You might as well hope to find some magic beans & take them to Oz. You're in la-la land
