TweetToday we are joined by Jordan Reed to discuss using dogs to control rodents.  Jordan hopes to educate and support organic and small scale farmers. His message is that a certified organic farm cannot use poisons in a food production area; A chicken coop is an egg or food production area.

The most commonly used poisons are anti-coagulants, which causes the rodents’ blood to thin, resulting in bleeding from the eyes and internal organs. As no immediate effect is felt, a rodent may consume many times the mortal dose. A dosed rodent often suffers extreme thirst, and can be found wandering aimlessly from day 3-5, which is usually how long it takes for the animal to die.

These poisons are considered one bite, one kill. As a dosed rodent wanders the landscape bleeding, what might happen? For a start, all predators prey on the sick and wounded, including owls and raptors, other land mammals follow. Bobcats are the only animal to exhibit any natural resistance to these types of poisons, and that is resistance not immunity. In short, to poison rats, you also inadvertently poison all natural and native predators along with your pets as well.

Despite this phraseology today’s show isn’t a play on Jeff Foxworthy’s you might be a red neck if.  Today we won’t be either poking fun at anarchists or talking about the things they do and say, as such.  Rather we are going to talk about the core of anarchism and reveal to many who thing anarchism is radical, dangerous, won’t work, etc, that they in fact are at their core already anarchists.

How is this possible?  Well anarchism isn’t a way you vote like democrat, republican or even libertarian, it is a philosophy of morality at its core.  It actually comes down to core beliefs of right and wrong.  Such at taking the legitimate property of another is wrong.  Using force or coercion is wrong, period.

It is a belief that you own yourself, and an acknowledgement that others also own themselves.  My hope is this show will reach many that are currently closed minded to anarchism.  Those who think “that can’t work” or “its never been done”, because frankly it has, you can read about it here.

Beyond that though, humans have been on this planet for a long time.  The oldest human tools date to about 2.4 million years ago and were found in a cave in China.  Even if we shrunk that down to say 200,000 years, the state as a form of control is only about 5000 years old and it wasn’t everywhere at once.  Franky humans have lived as anarchists far longer as a species than we have lived as statists.

Join Me Today to Discuss…

Why you might be an anarchist and not know it

The core beliefs of anarchists

Theft is wrong no matter who does it

Force is wrong unless it is used in defense

People own themselves

No person should be forced to participate in anything they don’t want to be part of

The pragmatism of the modern anarchist

It isn’t going to happen today or next week, or next decade

The way you live is what you control

Only a goal of no state can ever shrink the state

Voluntary associations can exist now, so lets do that

If you can solve a problem without the state, do so

Technology is our greatest tool for human evolution

How becoming an anarchist by choice changes your world view

Might no longer makes right

War becomes an absolute last resort

You stop focusing on things outside of your control

You find an “inner peace” not too dissimilar from some religions

Your obligations increase they do not decrease

You become a systems thinker and solutions orentied

Final Thoughts

Tweet14, Blood Smeared on My Face, and The Arrow Flew Well.

Today we get a lighter show and I think we could use one.  I was happy to see this subject come in second place in the polls for September’s shows.  Those of us that grew up in the 70s and 80s may be the last generation of children who knew true freedom as children.

We walked to the bus alone, many of us rode bikes several miles to school and to other activities.   We didn’t have social media and the internet, we grew up with sling shots, bb guns and old sing shot shotguns, that kicked like hell but were small enough for us to shoulder properly.

We broke bones, skinned knees and fell out of trees, as long as no one was dead or paralyzed we just went on with life.  Scratches, scars and pain were teachers who taught us swiftly the consequences of stupidity.

In this world a young blonde boy named Jack Spirko Jr. (his friends called him J.J.) grew up in two very different places.  Until he was 14 he wandered the Florida swamps, the shores of the St. Johns river and argued with Alligators on golf courses.  In the summer of 1986 he and his father piled into a very old Oldsmobile Station Wagon painted with honest to God black tire paint.

With them they carried guns and the old man’s entire life savings in cash.  19 hours later they pulled into the Grandparent’s drive way.  The boy and his father spent the summer finding the family a new home.  The father returned to Florida to retrieve the rest of the family, the boy stayed behind and worked on his skills with a bow and took his hunters safety course.  Later that year he would take his first deer with a bow.  We will walk with this kid and remember what it was like growing up in the woods not so long ago.

Join Me Today to Discuss…

It was always the woods for me

The Apartments with a lake

The tree branch that did not hold

The day the shark cleared out the beech

The crab that left his mark in my big toe

The apartments on the swamp

The “big bass”

Catfish like hot dogs

Friends hit by a car on the way to the bus

Risking serious injury for fun

The forts, oh the forts

The move to PA

The days of practice and the first deer

The little pond no one really knew about

The secret place where the native brook trout swam

Of bluegills and yellow perch

The first buck and the first buck with a bow

Year of the squirrels

The first car

The beer parties and the giant hammock

The decision to leave

Home isn’t that way any more, no where is
