Very interesting article by Kirschenmann, but what jumped out at me was this
inconceivable proposition by S. Blank to rid the country of agriculture! Just when you
think you've heard it all ...
It's on par with Milton Friedman last week calling for legalization of insider

The Council of Canadians organized a speaker tour in the western provinces to rally
support against GM wheat. The tour ran from late Feb. through last week, but no news
of it here in the east (where we only care about potatoes). Did anyone (Eric?) attend
any of these meetings?

Southwest Nova Scotia, walking distance to the coast. Seaweed is still plentiful here,
although die-offs are beginning in other areas.

eelgrass/seaweed - but hay is used more commonly) through winter. Here we don't

I would add "critical thinking" to Stacey's four requirements for democracy, maybe you
could say it's a subset of true literacy - but it certainly seems to have declined
drastically in the past three decades.

Good question. Fraud is endemic - Arthur Andersen is just the poster boy for an entire
