“Freedom of Choice” July 1, 2000

A DEA officer stopped at our farm he said “I need to
inspect your farm for illegal growing drugs.”
I said “Ok, but don’t go in that field over there.” The
DEA officer exploded saying, “Mister, I have the authority of the Federal Government with me!” Reaching into his rear
pants pocket, the arrogant officer removed his badge & shoved it in my face. “See this badge?! This badge means I am
allowed to go wherever I wish, No questions asked!! Have I made myself clear?” I nodded politely, apologized, & went
about my chores. A short time later, I heard loud screams, looked up, & saw the DEA officer running for his life, being
chased by my big old mean bull…. With every step the bull was gaining ground on the officer, & it seemed likely that
he’d sure enough get gored before he reached safety. The officer was clearly terrified. I threw down my tools, ran to
the fence & yelled at the top of my lungs “Your badge, show him your BADGE!!”
