Monsanto. Genetically modified murder?

A french study on GMO has revealed a number of very sad and revolting things. (Quoted from Corporate Europe) Rats fed a lifetime diet of Monsanto's genetically modified corn or exposed to its top-selling weedkiller Roundup suffered tumours and multiple organ damage, according to a French study published on Wednesday. (Quoted from Huffington Post) Many European countries as well as Russia have banned Monsanto material from their shelves. It is about time that the USA and…

Dear Mr Romney

Dear Mr Romney, Only know I see the fabulous reasoning behind your plan, and how you managed to lower the American income tax. Yes, and I must say it is an amazing plan which should be admired. You exported many jobs to the Chinese mainland where people are doing the work for a lot less money than Americans would do. This of course is not the cunning part, it is only a spin-off. You made…

The green thing

Checking out at the store, the young cashier suggested to the older woman, that she should bring her own grocery bags because plastic bags weren't good for the environment. The woman apologized and explained, "We didn't have this green thing back in my earlier days." The young clerk responded, "That's our problem today. Your generation did not care enough to save our environment for future generations." She was right -- our generation didn't have the…

Grey Wolf Wolves. Probably one of the least understood nor properly know species that lives on Earth. The first thing many people will think of when hearing the word 'wolf' is probably that of a predator, a nasty child-stealing and people-attacking animal. Thank you, Grimm brothers and other fairy-tale writers, for this misconception.

Oh my God

There you have them. The Christian god, or how it's often seen, and one of the Pagan gods, or how it's often seen. It? Not Him or He? Yup. It. For me there's no god in that way. Of course, there are many people who don't agree with me. They say that there is a god and that god looks after us all, even the sinners who don't believe in him, because he is a…

Avatar and its computer-array

I am an avid Avatar fan. Not the Last Airbender, but the epic film by James Cameron. My involvement on the Learn Na'vi forum, learning and teaching the language, as well as owning several copies of the film on DVD and Bluray should attest to that. I also love technology that is put to use in a good way. The combination of that goes into Avatar's background. The link takes you to an article about…
