A man’s home is his castle, or at least it would be if the government didn’t go around imprisoning people for what they do on their own property.
For most of the country’s history, it has been understood that someone could do whatever they want on their property so long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else or infringe on their possessions and holdings. Indeed, this notion was one of the ideas that drove the Founding Fathers to lead their countrymen to independence in the first place.
Unfortunately, the rise of progressivism has resulted in steady expansion of the state’s power, practically giving authorities free reign to dictate how Americans should conduct themselves in their own homes. It seems that there really is nothing to small for the government to stick its nose into, as Minnesota resident Jay Nygard has so painfully learned.

Wan’t Al Franken some kind of comedian, anyway you have to remember this is the state that elected Jesse Ventura as their governor. Next they will throw you in jail if you own an emergency generator. Electric companies don’t like having to buy back excess power which is the law in some states.

I got to call to this one out. He never went to jail. The city of Orono had ordered Nygard to stop work on his wind turbine, saying the city’s zoning doesn’t allow wind generators, and threatened him with criminal prosecution if he ignores the order. He ignores the city and the city brought charges. End of story. False stories and f**e news has got to go or Facebook will go the way of AOL.
There has to be more to this story
Will it never stop keep the goverment out
