[recoznet2] Genes and greens
For anyone who is interested in this subject and in what they let Monsanto feed them: On Channel Nine at 7:30 pm this Sunday, July 25, 1999 "LOOK WHATS COMING TO DINNER July 25, 1999: Reporter - Ellen Fanning; Producer - Stephen Taylor Genes and greens Depending where you stand on it, genetically modified food is either Frankenstein fare or the answer to feeding future generations. Science has made such advances in genetically altering produce that its possible now to make crops disease and pest resistant or breed into vegetables chemicals that reduce cancer risk. Just as impressive are the claims that genetically-altered cereals can be grown using less land and less water. It is a brave new world that is already on us but as Ellen Fanning reports, environmental groups - particularly in Britain - are mounting a fierce campaign to stop the introduction of laboratory-grown plants saying the companies behind the new food are not to be trusted."

[recoznet2] REPEAL NT MANDATORY SENTENCING LAWS CAMPAIGN.
REPEAL NT MANDATORY SENTENCING LAWS CAMPAIGN. YOUR HELP NEEDED TODAY - CAST YOUR VOTE FOR SANITY If you were outraged by the fact a homeless man got a year's jail in Darwin for taking a towel, here's your chance to take some positive action to restore the true spirit of the rule of law in the Northern Territory. DARWIN BY-ELECTION There is presently an NT Legislative Assembly by-election campaign under way in Darwin (2 seats) with elections on Saturday 31 July. Some candidates have expressed their opposition to mandatory sentencing - by not very loudly as it is not seen as an issue within suburban Darwin. The more messages received by the NTTC today and over the next week is important to encourage the sane people within the NT to act to protect the interests of the vulnerable as well as the wealthy. It just requires a little bit of outside energy to make a quantum leap. Just thinking about it won't do the trick, but sending off that email message NOW makes a REAL difference. HOW TO VOTE Send a simple and polite email message to the Northern Territory Tourist Commission asking them for more information about their "Darwin Jail First Resort Package" and requesting that they put a "WARNING NOTICE - NT JAIL LAWS" section on their website with full details of mandatory sentencing legislation. Either visit the website of the Northern Territory Tourist Commission at http://www.nttc.com.au or email them direct at [EMAIL PROTECTED] EVERY VOTE COUNTS! The first messages have started to arrive at the Northern Territory Tourist Commission. They are referring them to management. More messages please, we need more. DON'T THROW IN THE TOWEL - EMAIL THE NTTC TODAY [EMAIL PROTECTED] All those marginalised folk who get caught up in these rotten laws and deadly jails say "Thank you Brothers and Sisters."
