Country Life

Don’t Tread on Me.

I own two Don’t Tread on Me flags, one in my bedroom and one I use up at camp. While I’m hardly some one who embraces the Tea Party or the Republican Party – I’m a lifelong Democrat – I do think government government should remain out of people’s private business.

• I think government should respect my privacy and let me make my own choices about my life
• I think taxation should be limited and that I should be allowed to save and build a better tomorrow for myself
• I want to left alone be able to spend time in the wilderness without people bothering me
• When I own my off-grid home, I want to be able to maintain it – manage as much of my needs myself – be it electricity, waste, poop
• When I hobby farm I don’t want the government judging my animals, how I treat them or how I process them for my own consumption on the land
• I want to be respected as I am respectful and I don’t need the government to hold my hand in everything I do
