Every now and then, you hear a story that is so outrageous, it just makes you shake your head. Well, this is one of those stories.

A public elementary school in Dearborne, Michigan has told one of its students that he is no longer welcome to bring the Bible to school with him. The boy, who is 8-years old and has special needs, brings the Bible to school every day as his reading choice during free time.

The 2014 Gates Foundation letter was just released and its theme is “3 Myths that Block Progress For the Poor.”  The letter to Foundation partners focuses on the advances made in eradicating disease in the third world.  “By any measure, the world is better than it ever has been.  People are living longer, healthier lives.  Many nations that were aid recipients are now self-sufficient.  You might think that such striking progress would be widely celebrated, but in fact, Melinda and I are struck by how many people think the world is getting worse.  The belief that the world can’t solve extreme poverty and disease isn’t just mistaken.  It’s harmful.”  Bill Gates sat down with the media to educate on his goals for reducing disease, poverty, and stabilizing the world population.   Continue reading “Gates Foundation Annual Letter Focuses on Vaccines, Population Reduction”

Keeping even one “farm animal” in residential neighborhoods could soon be illegal in Michigan. That’s because a proposed change to state regulations could strip property owners of the right to keep and raise small numbers of poultry or livestock.

Michigan’s Right to Farm Act currently extends to all property owners in the state, including those in areas zoned residential or commercial. The state Agricultural Commission is considering a change to the regulations – called Generally Acceptable Agricultural And Management Practices (GAAMPS) — that would strip property owners of that right.   Continue reading “A Ban On Owning Farm Animals?

Pigs can be unpleasant, vicious creatures, especially in groups. They are omnivorous, will destroy anything and frequently attack innocent people when given the opportunity. But that is just their nature. Remember the scene from the Wizard of Oz, where Dorothy falls into the pig pen and everyone around her practically has a heart attack? That’s because they knew she could have easily been pig food.  Pig farmers know how difficult the animals can be and take great care to not be in compromising situations including staying on the other side of the fence from them.   Continue reading “Michigan farmer faces $700,000 in fines for raising “wrong” breed of pigs”
