Yes true, but the forces are formidable, well organized, and clearly extend through multiple generations. Huge. They can bring down the towers in front of our eyes, kill 3,000 people, and get away with it.

I didn't mean to direct this at you at all. I joke like this with my friend many times when they raise legitimate concerns about my high flying plans. No problem at all again.

Even the > mainstream US press > has referred to the "Other Superpower": Yes this effort to rein in Monsanto is outstanding and commendable. But I think we need to just agree to differ on this point. My humble opinion on this is that our opponents are not stupid, in fact they are brilliant strategists, the best there ever was or ever will be, and some small victories for our cause can be expected. But GM crops are still flooding the market and it is only the beginning. Eventually the patent enforcement that you see now will become widespread. Their plan is not static and they will act quickly to eliminate the internet threat. Internet censorship is already a reality and I expect it to get a lot worse. How? The great game of Thesis, antithesis, synthesis. One example. Right now there are criminals in jail on death row who have fan club followings over the internet where they describe their murders in great detail. This is understandably painful for the victims families so they are clamoring to have prisoners barred from internet access. Many convicts, particularly internet fraud cases, are already barred from using the internet. Don't people realize that this power will eventually be used against you and me? It surely will. My strategy is work diligently and never miss a chance to make change for the better, hope for the best, and plan for the worst. This is not suitable for everyone. > Did you ever read this? > > http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/BIOFUEL/32840/ > Re: [biofuel] The Oil we eat (Harper's) Yes I am quite very enthusiastic about integrated agriculture for my project. I visited with Dr. Preston of UTA a few years ago in Cambodia about attending some training classes and hiring some of his graduates. I still plan on doing this.
