Thank you to The Lion for this.

Anne, I'm not here to cause trouble, just to hopefully wake people up to the state of affairs in agriculture and earth health in general. The list of indiscretions committed by Monsanto is so large that I figured anyone that cared about farming would have the common sense to see it. Look up these things by yourself and you will find huge problems that either lead back to Monsanto or originate there. I'm not doing your homework for you, its in the news regularily, just open your eyes.

As I stated before, the poblems go much deeper than Monsanto, they just exaserbated the foolishness of farming for the fast buck. Look back at my earlier post on small farms and you may realize that the common people are the ones that need to have their problems solved, something they used to be able to do for themselves. They were a hard working lot that helped each other out until the banks came and took their farms. Farming is more of a natural event than an economic one, and has deserved more appreciation and attention than anyone wanted to give. The urbanites all had more important things to do than concern themselves with how food got to the table. Nowadays machines do the work that many hands used to do. More people were involved, therefore, more people appreciated the problems and hardships of farming.

We are now faced with a dilemma of global proportions that no one seems to be able to deal with. I wish us all well, but I foresee problems that will eventually be the end of many who are unwilling to face the reality of nature. Science does not hold all the answers, though it has a place as a source of contribution. People in general are the only way to salvage what can be salvaged. And those people will deserve appreciation, and probably not get it.
