The Power of Fear and Order Will Be Tested in CA Court Skirmish Over AB1735

by David Gumpert | Mar 14, 2008 | Uncategorized | 9 comments

The request by California’s two raw milk producers for a temporary restraining order, originally scheduled to be heard by a state court on Wednesday, has been put off for at least until next Wednesday (2 p.m. Pacific time). It seems the state attorney...

We Won’t Know the Truth About the CA Illnesses Till They Go To Trial, and Even Then…

We on this blog should be candidates for the jury in the suits by the two mothers against Organic Pastures. Actually, we’d probably all be disqualified for knowing too much and having strong opinions. I’ve been critical of Mark McAfee’s handling of...

How Do You Fight Defamation by Innuendo? Mark McAfee May Have the Best Formula, for Now

by David Gumpert | Mar 10, 2008 | Uncategorized | 50 comments

by David Gumpert | Mar 7, 2008 | Uncategorized | 16 comments

by David Gumpert | Mar 3, 2008 | Uncategorized | 14 comments

Is the argument over raw milk one of rights or one of safety? Many here want it to be over rights. But then the best approach would be too obvious. How can a society that goes ballistic over infringing on one’s right to have guns object to one’s right to...
