Please stock your refrigerator for my arrival today. Change the sheets on your bed too, you can crash on the couch until I decide to go elsewhere. Don't forget to get me a key to your apartment.

I shall require daily

1) a six pack of bass ale
2) a healthy salad
3) a large steak, medium rare
4) 3 different steamed vegetables
5) Blueberry cobbler and vanilla ice cream

6) The use of your car and some pocket money
7) I prefer sativa, but I'll smoke anything decent.

What are you waiting for? Hop to!!

You left out ceviche and a cold Lone Star. Pada, since you're such a generous soul (always at someone's expense) you have your marching orders boy. Get after it!

Believe it or not, in many places around our nation local ordinances and neighborhood covenants actually do act to prohibit the growing of food on one's own property.

Like all of your stuff, aint buying it. Name me one community so ridiculous.

Not that progressives loonies are welcome in the Great State of Texas, but some of you guys need to come to Texas and see what gardening is all about!

I think food should be a right and I think most people would agree with me

How can I live my life if I can't eat? How can I enjoy liberty if me and mine go hungry? How can I pursue happiness with an empty belly?

The basic necessities required to fulfill Constitutional rights in and of themselves are natural rights.

The right to eat YOUR food is a right.

The right to take another persons food is a WRONG.

Nice piece of paper, which I think you've misinterpreted the intent of. Even if the intent was as you suggest, you then are saying a piece of paper can authorize theft of another persons property. Which of course is not a good position to argue for. I will leave you to ponder that.

Interesting picture.

Rob Roy, you advocate the right of each man to choose his own life. Therefore, if someone chooses slavery, who are you to argue?

If those who have food and prosperity aren't willing to share them with those willing to earn their own, then they don't deserve their good fortune. Because that's all that separates the fabulously wealthy from the desperately poor; just plain, simple, stupid luck. Only the weak minded think they actually deserve their station in life.

Ponder this for a moment, at the point one realizes what is written on that paper and understands it, he/she
is free to participate or find another place to live that serves the "King George" of the Self Willed.

The lack of education for one to understand this is the true theft.

Luck has little to do with it. You discount hard work in that equation.

There's already too many people on this planet, free food would only compound the problem. I'm not a heartless bastard though..how can ya deny starving children food or clean water? Its an interesting question.

Except freedom, to be meaningful, has to include the option of not participating in something.

Can't ignore them unto starvation. The ones that survive come back with Kalashnikovs or bombs.

Countries that improve the education of women concurrently see reductions in family size. Cut population by educating people, not starving them.

Rob Roy only reads meaningless stuff written by old dead philosophers who never amounted to much. He's only interested in the hypothetical. The Constitution was written by people that meant for the document to work. And it does. Much to Rob's chagrin.

Many people have chosen a form of slavery.

Which should be their choice if it is confined to them, and they don't impose it on others.
