Justice!

Hello Folks,

Some time last week, the U.S. Supreme court ruled on the issue of emminent domain. What made this situation unique is that it allowed PRIVATE PROPERTY to be taken for another's PRIVATE USE if it could be proven that the new use would benefit the community (i.e. give higher tax revenue). I was greately saddened by this development. The relentless march of tyranny moves on.

John Adams, in his 1772 work The Rights of the Colononists said, "Among the natural rights of the Colonists are these: First, a right to life; Secondly, to liberty; Thirdly, to property;" It is increasingly sorrowful that the very principles our founders fought and died for are being stripped away.

In an interesting turn of events, justice might be served with some old fashioned justice. In New Hampshire, a Mr. Clements has filed the following with the local enforcement officer as follows:

"Although this property is owned by an individual, David H. Souter, a recent Supreme Court decision, Kelo v. City of New London, clears the way for this land to be taken by the government of Weare through eminent domain and given to my LLC for the purposes of building a hotel. The justification for such an eminent domain action is that our hotel will better serve the public interest as it will bring in economic development and higher tax revenue to Weare."

Here is the kicker, David Souter is none other then one of the Supreme Court Justices who RULED in Kelo v City of New London that the government could do EXACTLY what Mr. Clements desires to do.

Mr. Clements hopes to create the "Lost Liberty Hotel" with a "Just Desserts" cafe along with a museum to our lost liberties. This is no prank, and is one step towards holding our leaders accountable to the SAME STANDARDS that they are promoting.

That's it for this week

Hello Family and Friends,

First, as usualy, please remember that you can click on any of the nice pictures to get a larger shot that, when centered, makes a nice back ground for your computer.

Second, I went to a cattle processing plant this week. If those pictures would disturb you, once you get to my warning on the picture before they start, PRESS PAGE DOWN FIVE TO SIX TIMES AND YOU WILL SKIP RIGHT OVER IT.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

Aside from that, I have some, I think WONDERFUL shots of our two day vacation/camping deal up in Arkansas. What a georgous area of the country. Very GREEN. Enjoy!


Much Love In Christ,
Michael Thomas


Happy Father's Day Mr. Hutchins. What a wonderful gift Posted by Hello


Next morning, dark an' early, Mr. H and I loaded up cattle for processing. If you don't want to see anything, press page down six (6) times and you should skip it. Posted by Hello

The cattle were loaded up to bring to 4L the meat processing plant. Posted by Hello


There they were unloaded Posted by Hello


A fine lot of beef Posted by Hello


Alright, "MOVE!!!" Posted by Hello

I thought that this was a cool saw! Posted by Hello


Then it is hung while the meat dry ages. Interesting thing about Rehoboth Ranch meat. BECAUSE it is dry aged, when you buy a pound of hamburger and you cook it, you end up with a pound. Store bought meat not only has neglected the dray aging process, but it has water ADDED TO IT!!! That is why the meat shrinks to about 70% of the size. Posted by Hello


before it is cut up or ground into steaks, ground beef, soup bones, roasts etc. Posted by Hello


Then frozen Posted by Hello


Then unloaded ... Posted by Hello


... into the freezer Posted by Hello


Announcing, the baby chickens have finally reached an age where they must face the wide un known. Posted by Hello


Samuel and I loaded them up in crates, and then the crates onto the trailer for their journey. Posted by Hello


"I say, ladies, where ARE we going?" Posted by Hello


Finally, the chicks arrive in their new home. They will be kept in doors for a couple days.  Posted by Hello


That's a lot of cows for a little bit of shade. Posted by Hello


Tuesday, we left on a family vacation to Ouachita river for family canoeing and kayaking. The girls went back home and us boys proceded to the Cossatot river in Arkansas. Posted by Hello


Mark loads up the truck. I though this was neat. Lacking proper trunk space, we used an old chest freezer to double as a trunk. Posted by Hello


And off we go. Mr. and Mrs. H, along with the girlies and Catherine in the truck, Mary, Mark, Sarah, Steven and Myself, Elizebeth, Caleb and Samuel in the Van. Posted by Hello


At least in the beginning, Sarah was the high queen of the CD player. Posted by Hello


Much of the way, I read Peter Pan (which I really enjoyed) untill we arrived at our destination. Posted by Hello


Where Mr. Hutchins treated us all to either canoes or kayaks. This river was one of the prettiest I have seen. One area looked like a Japanese garden gone wild. It was geourgeous. Unfortunately, the almost cerainty of getting wet, kept the camera hidden in the van. Posted by Hello
