Merla, Thank you so much for sharing your insight and hopeful wisdom.
I especially like your statement: > You have to try to understand the whole picture and make your plays wherever > you can. I would have to say, though, that the USDA and EPA are *not entirely* "made up of people who have worked in ag chemical corporations and who refuse to finalize scientific reports about the dangers of pesticides." I've encountered a few exceptional souls in the EPA and USDA in recent months--and they need prayers and support too for the "plays" for higher good they are trying to bring about. I'm sure they have many days when they must feel like Sisyphus One of them is delightfully outspoken in support of organic farming--on his own time and with the disclaimer that his views don't represent EPA, etc. But they are there, and who knows, good changes could happen because they are there. Thanks, again. Kara
