Food Act of '09

Passage of the Food Modernization Act of 2009 has the potential to be a detriment to small farmers and the markets they support. If it does pass it could banish the days of small scale agrarianism as we know it, which seems to have once again taken hold in pockets of our culture, but this effort by lawmakers will ultimately be a boon for big farms and damage the small ones. Distributists unite! And combat the takeover of small holdings by wealthy, greedy capitalists!

"The other University named for Our Lady honors only those who recognize and embrace the truth concerning the dignity of every human life at every age and stage."

Chesterton on Vows

http://chesterton.org/gkc/essayist/v1n3.gkcessay.htm


"The revolt against vows has been carried in our day even to the extent of a revolt against the typical vow of marriage. It is most amusing to listen to the opponents of marriage on this subject. They appear to imagine that the ideal of constancy was a yoke mysteriously imposed on mankind by the devil, instead of being, as it is, a yoke consistently imposed by all lovers on themselves. They have invented a phrase, a phrase that is a black and white contradiction in two words -- 'free-love' -- as if a lover ever had been, or ever could be, free. It is the nature of love to bind itself, and the institution of marriage merely paid the average man the compliment of taking him at his word. Modern sages offer to the lover, with an ill-favoured grin, the largest liberties and the fullest irresponsibility; but they do not respect him as the old Church respected him; they do not write his oath upon the heavens, as the record of his highest moment. They give him every liberty except the liberty to sell his liberty, which is the only one that he wants."
