Monstanto vs. Mother Earth

Reality Sandwich — Fri, 10 May 2013 14:25:10 -0700

[Action Alert] • It’s unbelievable, but Monsanto and Co. are at it again. These profit-hungry biotech companies have found a way to gain exclusive control over the seeds of life – the source of our food. They’re trying to patent away varieties of our everyday vegetables and fruits like cucumber, broccoli and melons, virtually forcing growers to pay them for seed and risk being sued if they don’t.

Declaring Independence

somantics — Tue, 07 May 2013 14:04:20 -0700

Used to be no end of people willing to gang up and go with the flow without question. Couldn’t say if it’s just being human, cultural or something peculiar to a moment in history, but it’s true that the society in which I live has gotten into trouble more than once over this pervasive trait.

But now it looks like some of us want to do something different. We’re grasping at what shape it might take, like unmolded clay spinning on the wheel. We know that we want it to be useful, beautiful and for everyone to use.
