Mr. Giorno and Al, I worked with Ms. Fleck professionally in the past. I'm glad she is safe and publicly reported on this dimension of the war on drugs! Yes, front line workers with the poor and marginalized are often caught up with the police, and let's not let semantic issues distract

Mary, I appreciate your research on this topic! But you seem still to step around two key facts in Frank Chance's report on Roundup. First, most of the malign findings in human beings occur with agribusiness applications, which can be up to 20 times more concentrated than dilute commercial
