But is it ever taken away, or do we ourselves give it away because then at least we won't have to deal with those people, those dirty, degenerate people that we just don't want to see. Life is just so much easier as a sheep. You munch your grass, you stay in your pen. You like the pen because out there are wolves. Or so you're told.

What does foie gras have to do with my comment or the topic of the discussion?

It's about how to farm geese. Which is not so different from how to farm sheep. Or people. Or sheeple. I was going to tell the story but I posted the link instead. My point is actually not well enunciated in that video so I'll tell the story.

Even the most progressive foie gras makers in the world, what they do is pen the geese in with a fence, then force feed them to enlarge their livers. The least progressive obvi just stick them in cages.

What happened about 15 years ago, was the Americans in Napa (California wanted to ban foie gras at the time) heard about this guy in Spain so they tried to imitate him in hopes to find a way around the law against "gavage" (the process of making foie gras).

These Americans in Napa let the geese walk around free and eat whatever they wanted. Yet they clipped their wings and kept them enfenced. They wondered -- why wouldn't the geese just engorge themselves as they are naturally inclined to do in the fall?

So they visited the man in Spain and saw that he seemed to make no physical effort to enclose his geese. They were free to come and go as they pleased. This shocked the Americans so they asked the Spaniard.

His reply? If the geese know that they can never leave, they will never engorge themselves.

Also. Key point. Foie gras was invented by us Jews to please the Pharaoh. No joke.

I haven't watched it, but the title says "a PARABLE [my caps] of foie gras."
