Any society that would give up a little liberty for a little security deserves neither and will lose both.

Dazed and Confused

Congress has determined Pizza is a vegetable. The US Supreme Court determined Corporations are People and entitled to all Bill of Rights. Both rulings seem to be cramming a bunch of crap down my throat. The USDA has determined that 8 tbls. of tomato paste equals one serving of vegetable. Other sections define only 2 tbls. equals one serving. Coincidentally 2 tbls is the amount of paste on a single slice of frozen pizza. Starting to make juniors pizza at school look like 8oz of green beans or broccoli. The ruling allows frozen pizza as a substitute for vegetable in the US Government School Lunch Program that we the people pay in taxes. By decree of the Flat Earth Society pizza becomes a vegetable on school food menu across America.
No specifics on how big a serving is but, considered smaller than a carload. USDA is the food equivalent of the Federal Reserve evidently. The mystery to me is tomato is a fruit. According to Einstein you can't make a vegetable from fruit. According to my father"you can't make ice cream from horseshit either"! I don't know how you feel about Congress telling us pizza is a vegetable. I'm sticking with offended. It is clear as our economy and debt spiral out of control without solution. The 112th Congress is working hard to see that lobbyist for French Fries and Frozen Pizza needs are met. Same for Corporation who are people until it's tax time. Then they become sacred cows.
Clearly we need a blue ribbon super committee or Dirty Dozen to determine if the Supreme Court is really a fruit and Corporations are vegetables. I think.
