...administration decided it wanted to not only fight two wars, but to put them on a credit card...

There's only one way out now (to keep this msg somewhat on point)...
Make and drink more mead!

Meadmaker Joe
My two cents:
If a Lawmaker would not be ashamed of his/her own son/daughter who refrained from volunteering to serve in any given war, and would not be willing to (in the present tense) tax for the cost of that war, then that lawmaker has no business voting in favour of said war...
</rant off>

Oh, and Kelvin, you have already received my hearty congratulations (*raising glass of Henrietta Maria*)...get yourself over the Bar and let us know that's accomplished...
 
OK, I want to say something right now. This forum is full of some of the best people ever. I got 2 donations for my farm project and they both came from here. I'm not going to mention names. They know who they are and I am going further for both of them than I promised on Indiegogo. However, that just shows how great this community is. From day 1 I have loved this forum and everyone here is so generous with knowledge or anything they can give.

My first batch of honey goes to my best donor to whom I'm giving as much as I can (for free). However, I'm going to offer everyone here some great natural honey for very very cheap come next spring... It obviously depends on how much we get, but I want to give back to this community.

You guys have helped me countless times and made me the brewer, meadier (whatever they are called), and craftsman I am today. I thank all of you and you guys are a great group of people and I love and respect you all.

You guys that donated, expect your card in July like I said. Honey will be delivered next spring if that was what was agreed to and the seeds will be next fall. Again, you'll get to pick what seeds you want when we send you the card. Then we'll send you those seeds around Sept. or Oct. 2014. I can't say enough how moved I was from the donations from here. You guys are the best and I am skipping the farm sign. I am putting both of your names on a plaque on a beehive if you are ok with that.

Send me a private message if that is cool with you.. as you know I will use your online name if you prefer that.

I just now read the comments.

Let me tell you this. I do not agree with any of these wars. You can not have a war against a tactic. Otherwise it will last forever. As for the administrations, GW was an idiot piece of shit and so is Obama. We need true patriot and lovers of country not self in our government. If you are only looking out for you and your friends then we don't need you. That is why I support the Pauls and always will until they give me a reason not to. I campaigned for Ron Paul last time and I will campaign for Rand this time. I am really an independent. I always have been. I only joined the Republican party because I live in LA atm and they require you to be registered for the party to vote in the primary unlike in my home state of Indiana where you can vote for anyone you want whether you declare a party or not.

I am an old school liberal... and by that I mean how Thomas Jefferson was a liberal. Leave people alone and follow the teachings of Jesus and do unto others as you would be treated. And I also follow Madison, who knew the nature of man and understood that giving any power to one man would make most men abuse it. Even if there are many who would not abuse it there are some who will.. and you can never know if that man will abuse that power. Which is why we have our checks and balances.. Although is seems lately that we have none of those.

I am definitely a liberal. I'm just not what the rest of the US thinks is liberal. I'm not a "progressive." What is wrong with keeping with traditions and doing what works? Progression? Progressive? What do you even mean by that? What is progressive to you? Progressive to me is building this country up and allowing people to prosper based on their own merits.

Progression to me would mean getting rid of the income tax, allowing companies to prosper. Getting rid of the agency captured EPA and allowing people to actually file their own law suits and destroying polluting companies.
This all goes much deeper than the average person wants to go. But if you really want change and if you really want a better world you have to go there.

In closing... Bush sucked and Obama sucks. I'm sorry if any of you don't like that but we cannot ignore the truth. Neither of them actually cared or care abut what the US was founded on. We need leaders like Ron and Rand Paul to bring us back to the great country we once had. It is only people who are afraid of speaking the truth and going against what is wrong that will make us truly great again. Right now, we are seriously, one of the shittiest countries in the world.. and it pains me to say that.
 
And I just wanted to add this video that I now have on my signature.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqAF-Alc7CM

No truer words have ever been spoken. The mainstream tried and still does try to dismiss Ron Paul as crazy, but he is anything but. He just does not give in to the lies from either party. Enjoy the video. It is one of my favorites.
 
The liberal to which you refer is traditionally know as "Classical Liberal" based on philosophies originally proposed by John Locke and evolved by others, and very in tune with the thoughts of several of the founding fathers. The current political party supporting these idea is the libertarian party. But you are correct, the term liberal was abducted by the left wing idealists sometime in the last century.

But I'm not going to talk politics, this isn't the forum and I may never stop :-)

Congrats to you on your success!

Cheers

It was me!!!!!!!!!!!!

More farm updates coming real soon! Thanks to the one person who donated... you know who you are : ) It doesn't matter the show will go on and you will receive what you were promised and then some just for being so generous.

In any case, there's a lawyer on the team, guys!!! Or a new one at least. Ok not quite yet, but soon. As of now I am Kelvin Wadkins J.D. and come this winter I will be Kelvin Wadkins, Esquire. (although I'm not pretentious enough to use it.)

Anyway, I'm very happy and I'll be posting more once I get all this crap settled. I've been brewing beer much more than mead lately but we'll see what happens one the farm takes off. I'm going to be a busy man for the next few months.... and years. The good news is... I get to be busy doing things I love!!!

XOXOXOXOX all!

Congrats! Where are you located Kelvin?

Also, as a quick gentle reminder and and all political discussions need to migrate to the hive where we will keep an eye to ensure things don't get out of hand. Remember to be respectful of other people's points of view even if they don't mirror one's own, and have a glass of mead!

Cheers,

Oskaar

Understood, man.

I wasn't trying to start and kind of political debate I as just a tad tipsy and giving my views. I am alway respectful of everyone's views because the chances are I had them at one time. But we all grow and evolve or devolve depending on how one looks at it.

In any case, thank you so much. I am very happy about finally being one test away from being a real lawyer. Right now I am in New Orleans, but in just 3 days my fiancee and I are moving to a farm in Northern Virginia. I can't wait to get started on it. Other than being a lawyer it's my life's dream. My ultimate dream is to be able to farm full time and just help people as an attorney for free, but we'll see how long it takes for that day to come.

In the mean time, I'll be offering good honey next spring/summer... and of course it will be much cheaper for you guys than for anyone else. You've all shown me much kindness and friendship. I hope one day to sit down to a home brew with you all.
 
I am already up here in Northern Virginia and I just want to warn you there is already an extremely high level of LPSM (Lawyers Per Square Mile). You can't spit without hitting one and getting sued for it. I will avoid the rest of my lawyer jokes and try to avoid getting into politics too much online.

I am still fairly new in this forum but I have read many of your postings and you seem like a good person. I agree with much of your political opinions and wish you luck on both your farming and legal work. Since you are going to be within sane driving distance, I hope to be buying honey from you when you start producing.

To prepare for such hard exams, one should purchase online test prep materials because they are designed professionally for your specific test. I needed MBE Practice Questions but was not able to find them. At the end I found an expert course which had everything that I needed.

Dudde. The last time someone posted on this thread was 2013. None of those people have been on here for years. What are you thinking?
