  Oil Rifle - Sarah's Weapon of Mass Destruction

  Sarah Palin's quotable quote, "Alternative-energy solutions are far from imminent and would require more than 10 years to develop."  So???  So how long do we got on planet earth?  How long does it take to get the oil out to consuming masses?  How long does the CO2 from its burning last?  100 years!   Oil is the curse that keeps on damaging year after year even when it does nothing further to meet manufactured demand.  

     Some alternative energies are, in comparison, gifts of free energy.  Oil, more precisely, fossil fuel is the ultimate weapon of mass destruction and effect.  Bush, McCain, Palin know it was actualy found in Iraq.  Palin knows she has got a dribble on the North Slopes she can tout more drilling there to the distanced masses trained to see  a) gasoline as essential to civilization & b) wisdom as "always the low cost" ... as a means to get votes for her political party.  On Alaska will sue over polar-bear listing posted 1 year, 2 months ago 7 Responses

  organic agriculture / ugly truths

  "You should conceive of yourselves as the anti-Tysons and anti-Smithfields by investing in appropriate-scale processing plants all across the land."  

  So interesting to read this just after opening a door to this discussion.  I know what is at stake.  I have am one step ahead.  You promote organic agriculture but obviously want more natural.  I promote natural or "organic."  Sounds the same, but not quite. Organic assist nature.  Natural is really the same, but skips the chemically altered manure (chicken, pork, bull shit of CAFOs). Natural lets nature provide while deeply respecting nature. Basically, it steps ever so lightly on nature ... is more a gatherer and hunter agriculture.   Natural agriculture is a dose of refreshing water to most "so called" organic agriculture.

  It is fun to talk about organic produce, but most people are afraid to take on the big meat companies and gene altering consortiums.  I'm not and am fortunate to be posed in the right position to open the door between both.   The benefits that make Farmer Produce Markets good for produce are just as valid for meat.   We should have the right to have locally owned and inspected meat markets, not local 70 miles away and back.On How the organic movement can regain its relevance posted 1 year, 4 months ago 24 Responses
