A nation of morons.

To be fair... it is Maine ... the state with the lowest number of indigent mental patients posing as homeless.

Will Mainers have the right to take food from others if they think they need it or demand certain religious related food from vendors as a constitutional right? Chalk it up to "be careful what you wish for"?

Equal protection of the at-will employment laws for unemployment compensation is more market friendly.

What in the fuck made them pass this? This amendment seems really really stupid. Were people not allowed to get food? What about the unvaccinated.....uh oh......can't leave them out now.......

 

[danielpalos]

we have that

No, we don't or I would not be advocating for it.

Independent Mainers rejected Canada's attempt to mow down a path through the pristine wilderness in order to sell electricity to Mass. Were they tricked into altering their state constitution with this food issue?

I have been to Maine once...20 years ago? It was pretty.

How about going underground for their electric transmission needs?

Freedom is a great thing.

I cannot imagine any freedom as essential as the fundamental right to try to feed one's family without assistance from others, including utilizing one's property and God's green Earth to grow the food one wishes, as long as one does not create a public nuisance.

Ironically, I suspect a lot of Dems are against "granting" this liberty, even though there it can potentially be a very green activity (no transport of food and less trips to a grocery store.) Full organic, or full of pesticides and fertilizers, whatever one prefers. Can save a ton of money, particularly considering the rapid inflation at the grocery stores we are witnessing.

Freedom really is a great thing. So is skinny, as you said, but not because of starvation.

The lobsters are not happy tonight. I think they're planning an insurrection or something.

I hope the law is better worded.

The intent is to stop HOAS, zoning and landlords from passing rules and regulations that prevent people from having vegetable gardens.

This is a tug of war between municipalities and private food distribution companies.

All my food comes from private distribution.

I don't need government cheese.

yes we do.

you are “advocating” for something we already have…my guess though is it’s largely due to the fact you don’t know what it is you are actually advocating for…

You must be on the right-wing. Am I supposed to believe you have nothing but the "gospel Truth" simply because you proclaim it instead of having Any valid argument to support your claim?

Why do right-wingers allege I am the lazy one?

what do you want me to argue? You have used phrases, that you appear not to understand.

Maybe you can better example why you think people don't have equal protection under the law for unemployment insurance....
