CT Fun Fact of The Week

As part of the celebration commemorating Connecticut's 375th Anniversary Governor Rell's office has been releasing fun facts of the State's history. 

Here's this week's: Did you know that in 1875 the first agricultural station in the United States was established in New Haven by the State of Connecticut?  In fact, one of the agricultural station’s most noteworthy accomplishments was its first attempt at “consumer protection” when a program was established for analyzing food for public consumption.

I have studied and spoken with a few sovereigns all of them are not in it for the anti-government stance, some just basically know how our government REALLY operates.It was very informing and educational.I think each of us could benefit from listening to sovereigns who are not ant-gov we do it when we talk to judges and lawyers,so dont be 1 sided to any issue seek knowledge.

I'm totally laughing because I know quite a few people that would think this is a good idea where they work. But really- it's so sad that their leaders know that this is a problem. Their answer isn't to change the environment to prevent the jumping- just put something out there to catch them when they do. Sure makes me feel so very fortunate to work where I do. It's like a gift from God.
