Beware of the Farmer

You remember our number one threat according to Stephen Colbert?

BEARS!!

There's a new threat and bears have been surpassed by the farmers. Our brilliant federal and state authorities certainly think so. Not only are farmers dangerous with their deadly raw milk but also they may be hiding dangerous things on their farm. You know, things like tomatoes or pot. Well, in this article by Reason.com, it turns out it was just the tomatoes.

The owners of a small organic farm in South Arlington are demanding an apology from police who raided the property in early August in what amounted to be a fruitless search for marijuana.

It wasn't completely fruitless though. Tomatoes are technically a fruit and the brave police found them. This is another example of failed prohibition and destructive aggrandizement of government power. Whether it's raw milk or Cannabis, prohibitory measures enforced by an ever expanding police state have proved to be the true danger-danger to our liberty. We have such devices as drones are in our skies to keep a creepy watchful eye on us. This invasion of privacy and scary expanse of government surveillance has even brought people to consider hunting drones in a Colorado town. Hunting permits will be available. You might laugh but I would be the first in line. I digress.

So, let's congratulate the police in South Arlington for ridding the streets of organic tomatoes.
