If the freedom of speech is taken away
then dumb and silent we may be led,

I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

you pick on me because you care.
“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

One time on our farm, we raised a big black cow for butcher. Poor thing was kept in a back corner stall in our barn, just fed to be fattened up for slaughter. One day when we came home from school "Blackie" was gone. We all knew what had happened to her. A short time later we were having a beef roast for dinner and my older sister asked, "is this Blackie?" None of us could eat it. We had all grown to fond of her.

I hear ya. I couldn't do it now either. I have enough land here and I'm in the township so, I could fence in a spot and raise a pig or cow, but it would turn into a pet. I'd never be able to have it slaughtered so there's no use even thinking about it.
