Monsanto and industrial agriculture's darkening shadow over our food  
Rational argument and even a beautiful way of life are actually threats to those who intend to take ABSOLUTE control over food here. Only by deeply corrupting the government and Orwellian-ing the system - declaring clean farmers' food unsafe, defining their never-been-a-problem-before equipment as sources of contamination, setting up massive corporate spying systems on farmers for which farmers have to foot the bill (NAIS), and putting in police state regulations to allow for warrantless attacks and seizure and destruction of what they own, can industrial agriculture prevail.

Only by buying our politicians.

A major UN study has proven that organic farming can feed Africa and offers significant safety advantages over industrial farming. And it is democratic, free from the monopoly that genetic engineering is designed to achieve. What more does one need?

P.T.S.D Is Really Post Traumatic Heart Dysfunction  
In March 2005, PBS aired A SOLDIERS HEART where a physician on that show reported that every soldier inIraq is foreveremotionally changed after serving in combat .
This can actually become a hardening of the heart whereas the soldier eventually becomes seemingly incapable of giving and receiving love and retreats into a lonely and impenetrable shell .Post Traumatic Stress Dysfunction, or PTSD, is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as military combat, natural disasters, terrorist incidents, serious accidents, or violent personal assaults like rape. People who suffer from PTSD often relive the experience through nightmares and flashbacks, have difficulty sleeping, and feel detached or estranged, and these symptoms can be severe enough and last long enough to significantly impair the person's daily life. But, I would argue, people can suffer these very same symptoms when they are seemingly separated from love.
As such, Post Traumatic Stress Dysfunction is actually a Heart dysfunction where psychic pain, fear and guilt often override joy and love.
To many, suicide becomes the only choice, as Dr Gary Kohls writes ~ It is often said that 200,000 Vietnam vets have committed suicide since they came home from the war, although, with 30% of the huge US homeless population being nameless and homeless Vietnam veterans, the precise number is unknown and actually may be larger !
In my experience as a practicing psychotherapist ~ A person will take their own life only if they feel that the dark loveless tunnel of aloneness they existin is their ONLY CHOICE.
