Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

    Norway Moves Against Circumcision


    Genital mutilation. The Christian view of God does not demand that slicing and dicing but the Jewish view of God does, and the Muslim god requires it of both men and women. What's that all about? Sacrifice?


    New Yorkers Paying Through The Nose for Electricity


    Can't blame Con Ed. It's the taxes. Only the poor and the rich can afford NYC -  and the struggling ambitious youth and new immigrants who will put up with anything to be part of the Big Time. The youth and the immigrants should not care about comfort.

    Nothing new about government idiocy. Everybody knows that governments are idiots.
