Good genes?

Interview with Marie-Monique Robin, who just finished making a documentary about Monsanto. You might remember Monsanto from such experiements as PCB's and Agent Orange. Now they provide 90% of the world's genetically modified crops, which they claim is safe for human consumption and the environment.

As Dr. Vandana Shiva notes in the opener, food is the best way to control populations. Learn about the company that controls a large portion of what you eat, and what's floating in the air you breathe.

The doc is "The World According to Monsanto" and the bigwigs there refused to be interviewed for the film. Must be good. . .

And, in unrelated news, here's a tasty column from the Telegraph, pointing out Shawn Graham's lack of a mandate, and his willingness to enact changes not discussed in an election.

Hi Amy,

Thanks, I'll check out the doc, etc.

Have you watched '911 Loose Change', or 'Zeitgeist' - the Film?

I did some minor follow-up, looking at various Sept 11 broadcasts from the scene at the Pentagon, and I would have to agree with many of the sentiments in these films...
