Bushel Bob loves Oberlin and Pittsfield Township
During the time my family and two of our MacIntosh apple trees moved to Pittsfield Township in 2002, I've planted a garden large enough to allow me the joy of operating a small produce stand from under my porch. During those six years, I've met many wonderful neighbors, including Jacob Luqhardt and the late Charlie Carter who both grew up on Quarry Road. They told me that they went to school in my house when it was the Pittsfield Elementary School. Their teacher lived in Lorain and rode a streetcar down the middle of State Rte 58 to U.S. Rte 20 where Pizza Hut is today. Next she would walk a mile from September to May against the prevailing west winds down U.S. Rte 20 to Quarry Road. Jacob's job was to make it to the schoolhouse ahead of his teacher and get the stove going so she could thaw out. It was easy to fall in love with Pittsfield because I grew up in rural Lorain County.
Global State Terrorism
The year 2002 was also the year, however, that World War III began - first in Afghanistan, then spreading to Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia and Libya. By 2011, 49 countries led by Obomb'em and the British were still waging Bush-and-Blair's war against the Students (Talibaan) in Afghanistan, who offended CIA in 2000 when they stopped CIA opium production. In 2003, the global corporatists' aggression spread to Iraq where 1.2 million people have since been murdered and another 4 million have fled the Anglo-American carnage, seeking shelter in tent cities that have sprouted up in neighboring countries. Like a nightmare scene from the original Terminator movie, U.S. drones are dropping bombs on humans in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen while itching to add Iran to their list of victims.
A New World Order
During the past ten years, we saw that neocon state terrorists lie, deceive, and kill while trampling on the liberty and freedoms that Americans' Founding Fathers fought two wars against the British to realize. Neocons have infiltrated and control both major political parties. They want to take over the world while trampling on Americans' Bill of Rights. Their leader, ex-CIA director and former president Daddy Bush, believes they have accomplished this already - declaring in 1989 a "new world order".
A Farmer Fights Back
So what does this have to do with gardening? Looking over my schedule C to my tax return, I've realized that I inadvertently produced extra funds that Uncle Sam then used to buy bombs that were dropped on innocent families and farmers. This gives me no small amount of moral discomfort. So I've decided not to sell produce until after the wars. In short, I'm closed for peace. The world is going to the global corporatists, but I'm still planting my garden. Rather than sell produce for a profit, I've decided to donate it to charity - the Santa Elena Project of Accompaniment SEPA . In addition to Bushel Bob's fruits and vegetables, this heroic group of local volunteers sell a variety of baked goods and other items at the Oberlin Farmers Market on Saturday mornings. SEPA uses the proceeds to help victims of Uncle Sam's 1980s state terrorism in post-war Guatemala, while patrons of the Oberlin Farmers Market enjoy spray-free orchard fruits, berries, tomatoes, and other garden vegetables. Closing Bushel Bob to for-profit sales in order to end my indirect complicity in funding global state terrorism is the response of this farmer and veteran for peace.
