UB,
Been trying to read up on everything you've written and as far as I'm concerned, you ARE rollitup.org. And I'm so relieved to see that someone else sees through the organic/green movement's insidious propaganda. It's hard to present the facts to the general public, as the majority of them have been drinking the water. The problem is that the facts have been manipulated, overstated, or intertwined with hearsay, and trying to promote rational thought gets you branded as a heretic or "bad" person. I wish I had a collection of all your organic/green movement/feelings rants!
I think you might enjoy Zizek's take on our contemporary ecological ideology, that it has taken religion's place as the opiate of the masses:

May your grows be bountiful soldier.
Thanks man, that was truly a hoot. The Green Movement is just another fringe group that wants control of our lives. Government is a group of people, the Green Movement is a group of people. Gays are a group of people....all groups trying to control us.
I just pissed off some of my friends that bought into the bullshit that Monsanto is out to make and sell all the world's seeds and is at the forefront of requiring a government mandate to make the use of organic fertilizers illegal. Look at this propaganda from these organic loons:

Monsanto says it has no interest in the bill and would not benefit from it, but Monsanto’s
Michael Taylor who gave us rBGH and unregulated genetically modified (GM) organisms, appears to have designed it and is waiting as an appointed Food Czar to the FDA (a position unapproved by Congress) to administer the agency it would create — without judicial review — if it passes. S 510 would give Monsanto unlimited power over all US seed, food supplements, food and farming.
Upon scrutiny, this bill actually EXEMPTS organic, conventional, large or small farmers from government intervention/inspections, which is what has some food safety advocates upset, blame them. The fact that some organic wacko has to jump on the anti-Monsanto bandwagon is lame enough...... you'd think they'd do their homework before pitching their unsubstantiated, emotionally driven drivel. I mean give me a break! -->
"S 510 would give Monsanto unlimited power over all US seed, food supplements, food and farming." Yech!
Now, back to the real world.......
Consumer Union is taking the following position on amending this law which hasn't been amended in 70 years, and I quote:
The proposed amendment to exempt from safety standards any farm that sells direct to a wide range of customers puts American consumers at risk.
Produce – everything from spinach to tomatoes, berries to peppers – has been implicated in countless foodborne illness outbreaks in recent years. Of the top ten riskiest FDA-regulated foods identified by the Center for Science in the Public Interest in a recent report, four were produce items.(1)
Your proposed amendment exempts any farm – no matter the size – from safety standards when it sells its produce to a wide range of customers"

Looks like it's the food safety (food coalition) groups that are pushing for more regulation! Down with all the frickin' control freaks of the world!
Don't give up the good fight for truth,
UB
