Mon$anto vs. Mother Earth

Hi Mike, actually it was wide of the mark on one issue and that was due to a bad edit. NONE of the criminal issues we face in society are racially based apart from racial abuse and ignorance of same. People of all colours have the same potential for antisocial and destructive behaviour. I thought about editing the post but reckon it is more honest to fess up to the error as a reminder to myself to use words carefully as they can be taken in more than three ways.
I am about done with hearing the charities cry to arms to send 'just three pounds a month' all the while showing very badly malnourished kids being fed a peanut based nutrition replacement product (which could be dosed with lysine for all I know, or some other monsato product). What they do NOT allow the camera to dwell on is the mother who is perfectly normally fed and watered, cut out by cropping to the sick infant. These mothers deliberately have too many children and then deliberately starve the smallest kids when food is in short supply. These advertisements used to have other well fed kids in the family in shot but no longer. When you take into account the cost of celebrity (another thing that grates my cheese) involvement OR the high salaries of senior management of these charities it really does take the biscuit, smash it into crumbs and sweep it under the carpet.
Never mind me, time of life or just about had it with ignorance syndrome.

I'm an old man now and can't really change these things (I guess I never could). IMO The world has evolved backwards in many ways before my eyes in the past 60+ years. I don't know how far backward it is going to slide and I won't be here to see it. I can say that the biggest disappointment for me has been "democracy" and "free enterprise". This has unleashed an army or predators willing to do anything legal to make money. Next would be the continued proliferation of strange ideology and religion. If both of these things were eradicated the world would have a chance.
Our redemption appears to be in their self-destruction as is becoming evident. Democracy and free-enterprise are now loosing the race. The largest driving economies on earth are no longer democratic. If you still think this is the case then you better take a fresh look. The most diabolical aspect of this is the term "free enterprise" were the worst of tyranny can be found and were nothing is free. A place where people are enslaved for life.
So I would not worry about Monsanto. The people are coming! I just wish I was here to see Monsanto drawn and quartered.
ps: another disappointment: Tomatoes are not tomatoes anymore. I haven't tasted a good one since I was 10 years old.

And a lot illegal, a case in point. One of the largest USA banks has been fined $30 billion and counting for being naughty. Also it seems that they got off lightly. No one from the bank was reprimanded and the Chief Executive now gets a $7.4 million bonus for his stewardship on top of his $20 million salary. The mind simply boggles!

I saw the report on this a couple of weeks ago. In the report the MIT researchers are being criticised for not having enough expertise in the field to make a broadly trusted scientific conclusion. Still, even a hint that these Monsanto chemicals could be a cause of autism deserves a lot more investigation and quickly!
Just as worrying are the behind the scenes trade deals that are, as I write, being set up that (it seems to me) will give power to the big corporations to sue governments that outlaw their products for domestic use.
Check out, Stop negotiating in secret and release the text of the TPP and TTIP immediately!

One thing that will only get better..."Grandchildren". My oldest child Jillian her husband and my Grandchild Lily live on the same property as I do. We are a fair bit out of harms way now as we have moved into the upper woodland forest on property. My second son Ian is remodeling a cottage on our property soon. My oldest son lives even further into the bush....Dryden. They are about to have their first child...another grandchild for me.
So now that we are all tucked away I feel quite relaxed generally. You can't imagine how much fun it is just sitting amongst the trees.ps:@mike ...Lily is a fierce Irish dancer.

Thanks for sharing Roland. I hope the your second grandchild arrives save and sound. Its up to us senior citizens to make this planet a good place for our grandchildren and that's not so easy without sticking our necks out.

By some standards not very.....start Google Earth and go to Coldwater, Ontario.
Just the edge of the wilderness. If you wanted to get a look at where we live you have to fly over. There is no view from a public road.
