  Palin Pales

  The "intelligent design" position would have been enough to turn me against her. I didn't know she was in that group of wackos. If her anti-environment, anti-wildlife, pro big oil, anti-women's rights positions aren't enough to tank her, I just don't know what to make of the state of the nation anymore.On The eco-rundown on Alaska guv Sarah Palin, John McCain's veep pick posted 1 year, 2 months ago 120 Responses

  Drill, drill, drill...it's off to drill we go.

  With Obama's all-too-eager willingness to "compromise" on key issues (telecom immunity and now offshore drilling) I'm less and less confident we can prevent this all from happening. The short-sighted immediate profit group appears to be winning more and more each day. It makes me crazy and afraid.On Boehner returns from golfing, says Republicans can win on offshore drilling posted 1 year, 3 months ago 1 Response

  Modal is Wood, too.

  How different is this from Modal? Modal is a form of Rayon made from beech trees. It is supposed to be environmentally friendly and I personally have Modal boxer briefs from Target that are very comfortable and inexpensive (comparatively). Better than cotton in most ways. Beech trees grow quickly, as do some pines, but, honestly, anyone who has seen replanted pine "forests" knows this ain't a forest! I've never seen a real forest where all the rows are symmetrical and void of undergrowth beneath the uniformly sized trees!On White pine underthings more natural than they sound posted 1 year, 9 months ago 13 Responses

  The Dark Lord GMO

  Non-GMO labeling is increasingly suspect because, as Monsanto fully knows despite its denials, it is impossible to contain these species. If there is a field in the vicinity that grows Monsanto's seed, it's virtually impossible for an organic farmer to truly know his crop is free of these genetic traits. To say such crops can be contained is a farce. Alfalfa is another crop that is now going through the same process in the farming community. One judge has been smart enough to put a hold on any new farms growing Monsanto's GMO version of alfalfa, but it's too late. It spreads to quickly, too easily. Altered genes have been found in supposedly heritage crops in Mexico for chrissake. The genie is out of the box. Pandora's box is open. Any other cliches come to mind? Because they all apply here.On Monsanto's latest court triumph cloaks massive market power posted 1 year, 10 months ago 18 Responses
