We Would Accidentally Kill Each Other Were It Not For the Govt

We belong to a brand new church.  Because it is brand new, we are looking at many ways to raise some operating money.  One idea brought forth is to have a bake sale during another event going on in town.  Simple enough.  But wait!!  Minnesota has a statute, enforced by the omniscient MN Department of Agriculture, which governs the highly consequential bake sales that take place in the state.  Oh, thanks be to God.  It would be a crying shame to just let people go about their business.  So, according to M.S. 28A.15, a sign must be posted at a bake sale that states, "These products are homemade and not subject to state inspection."  Really??  Here I always thought it was self-evident that bake sales are the selling of homemade baked goods.  Good thing the state came along to be sure we clarify.  Oh, and nothing can have frosting on it.  I can't help but wonder if perhaps James Madison, George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, Gouverneur Morris and Benjamin Franklin discussed, at the constitutional convention, the hazards to the well-being of citizens caused by tainted frosting.  I bet they did, but James Madison just forgot to write it down.  The good news about this is, maybe we'll see a decline in the numerous weekly headlines about deaths by frosting.  Tis a far better thing to have our government spending taxpayer money preventing the dangers of frosting than doing silly things like securing our borders.  The danger of not securing the border, though, is a terrorist could sneak across with tainted frosting and take out a whole city.  Good thing the government's on it.
