“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. They may be more likely to go to Heaven yet at the same time likelier to make a Hell of earth. This very kindness stings with intolerable insult. To be “cured” against one’s will and cured of states which we may not regard as disease is to be put on a level of those who have not yet reached the age of reason or those who never will; to be classed with infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals.”

I am an older gentleman now in retirement. I have paid my dues to the thieves in suits and hope that I can survive my remaining years while retaining whatever human(e)ity I have left. I don't take vaccines or meds and have not seen a Doctor in over 20 years and surprise, surprise, I am still very much alive and kicking.
Im a wife, mother, grandmother and a believer. John 14:6 I love life and try to bring positivity to a fallen world. @chrismadzier RIP 2-24-67-12-22-21 You will be truly missed my buddy. Minds member since April 2018.
I care about true things. - Rationalization has replaced rational thought among too many Thought Leaders. - We are not living in an Infromation Age; we are living in a Misinformation Age. - Beware the Straw Man. - I don't hate anybody. I love everyone and spend most of my time being terribly disappointed. - No one is guilty of stuff they didn't do. - Skin color is only skin deep. - Lover of the semicolon.
To all my friends - ども ありがと
ALL LIFE IS SACRED.
6th generation American. My great-great-great uncles (miners) rented a house in AZ from the Erp brothers back in the day before it was a state (1912).
I love life, my country, my family, my Christ. Bible, bullets, beans. I can outlast every asshole wanting to kill us.
That's me in a nutshell.
Stuff I post about: Art, photography, foraging, herbalism/apothecary crafts, houseplants, gardening, cooking, baking, cocktails, coffee, or whatever strikes my fancy.
At this point, I need to add this in: When discussing foraging and medicinal properties of plants, it is intended for educational purposes only. Proceed with the use and consumption of plants at your own risk. No medicinal discussions are intended to diagnose or treat any ailments. Please consult your licensed healthcare provider if in need of diagnosis or treatment plans.
