Have a veterinarian friend whose children raised goats to maturity. A Muslim cleric arranged to purchase goats. This cleric showed up and was left to load his purchases. When the vet returned with the paperwork the halal butchering had occurred leaving an indescribable gore. No further transactions were forthcoming nor were any regulations available for enforcement. Yet 40 miles away a family was being prosecuted for selling raw milk to willing customers. Rules for thee, but not for my chosen people.

You atheist are entitled to your opinions also. You shouldn’t cut down the others. He who is without sun cast the first stone

Like all good liberals, woodguro worships the government of man and his god, himself.

The Amish farmer you are attacking had a closed network of people that are well aware of what he is/was doing. Using their personal freedom to shop elsewhere, or go out of their way to get his product, they chose for themselves and over oppressive Government regulations. He wasn't the only place to shop, and even more expensive, and the people still chose him and his merchandise. Did that escape your reasoning?

You are the one missing the point...4000 customers is selling to the public period, and selling to the public means you adhere to the same regulations any other dairy rancher has to.
And why does this person's religion exempt him from rules and laws? It doesn't.

You mean like the Muslim practice of cutting off a woman's clitoris so she doesn't enjoy sex? (Not to get personal or anything, but is that what happened to you?)
What is wrong with your ability to comprehend? I am against the religious freedom models, Amish, Muslim, whatever...as far as I'm concerned none of them have any right to "practice" their beliefs outside of the law.
If this Amish dairy farmer wants to sell commercially he adheres to the laws as required to do so.

All American citizens have a "special right" from God to own land and to work on it without illegal interference from the government. This criminal group of men who have stolen the seats of our government is stealing land for themselves and selling it to foreigners.
Which has zero relevance to this particular amish dairy farmer.

You didn't mention Joe Biden. You're no democrat. You're a Democrat.

It has 100% relevance to the case.
The Amish are a religious group with a comprehensive approach to life, including agriculture, food, housing, marriage, transportation & many other things. Their agriculture methods have resulted in abundant harvests, among the highest per acre in the world. I have read that if the rest of the United States farmland were as productive as the Amish lands, we could feed the world. They are following a religious guideline but, of course, since it's a Christian denomination, progressives support government over it.
