Episode 31 sees Josh of White Mountains Livestock come on the show to talk about pork and why they made the decision to farm all naturally. We talked about what “organic” means, how the long list of USDA approved chemicals might not be something you want in your food and why small scale farming allows a healthier connection between farmer and animal as opposed to the industrial farming method.

Salmon cannon shut down under GVRO legislation

Wallowa County, Oregon – A contingency of eco-sexuals expressing fear for the life of their loved ones caused a recent shut down of the newly installed Salmon Cannon at the Hells Canyon dam.

“We received a call about a potential domestic abuse situation, so we followed protocol and immediately filed a Gun Violence Restraining Order with the local judge. This Salmon Cannon is the largest our department has ever seen; we’re lucky we got here when we did, there could have been roe everywhere,” said deputy Olivia Pescado.

A member of the eco-sexuals who initiated the call to the Hells Canyon Police Department expressed his fear for the well being of the numbers of Salmon being fired through the cannon, and over the dam to reach spawning grounds upstream, “They’re just fish, man. They’re not birds. They don’t want to fly. They want to be cared for and loved just like anyone else.”

Cheers erupted at the precinct when it was announced that the Cannon was in police custody. “I can’t wait for our monthly picnics,” cried one officer, “this will make the best water slide ever!”

“Unfortunately,” lamented the cannon’s owner, “this is a big blow for the salmon. We’ve spoken to our lawyers, and even if we could get it back, the legal fees alone will prevent us from recouping the cannon.”

For episode 28 the Liberty Hippie reached out to the Homeschool To College Coach, Ms. Lisa Marie to talk about getting homeschooled kids into college. Lisa is a homeschooling mother of over seventeen years who experienced some of the confusion and unsureness that comes when it’s time for a homeschooled student to apply to college. Through her experience she decided it was a worthy cause to become a college admissions advisor to lend her knowledge and skills to other homeschool families trying to navigate the murky waters of college entrance.
