Distant planet appears to be giving the bird.

Join the Pumpkin Revolt

Bureaucrats in Orem, Utah, are trying to destroy 71-year-old Darrell "Bud" Durrant's livelihood.  Durrant lives off of a $396 retirement.  The bulk of his income comes from pumpkins that he grows on his farm in Lake Shore, and sells from his yard at  112 W. 1600 N. in Orem ,  a distance of  17 miles . He's been selling pumpkins from his yard for 20 years.  But this year, authorities threatened to shut him down. Bud Durrant and his business partner, David Cook.

Yet, for these innocent actions, many people have been shot, beaten, and threatened by police officers; thrown into prison; and deported. You tired, poor, huddled masses yearning to be free can go eff yourselves. (Edited by Double Birds) Our legislature has criminalized actions that are not criminal.  The law has been corrupted—instead of being a bulwark to defend our liberties, it has become a weapon to abuse them. We should not restrict the freedoms of those who would wish to come here.  We pretend that they do not have the same freedoms as we do, because they are not Americans.  But freedom is not bestowed by the government, it is given by God .  The government is supposed to protect freedom, but when it instead turns to oppression, it proves its own illegitimacy.  Calling a person "illegal" is wicked nonsense. The very term "ill...
