Much of the world's morality has turned entirely backward Seedcorn.
For instance, this farmer was in Canada. I'm not sure about the moped industry in Canada, or the price of tea in China. (When a person changes a geographical place, often we use a new paragraph. I also space my paragraphs. I don't pretend to be a great author. But I think I separated the two pretty well.). But ya know, I do not understand what could be the impetus to stand up for this huge monopoly type company. It's not a person. It's a company. with power. More power than a million humans. Maybe half a billion humans could equal Monsanto's power.
Hear me well. You may well change your thinking about this non human company. They really are sneaky. I wanted to get some seeds from europe. Turns out the only way I can, without going the black market route, or the smuggling route, is to purchase them through Monsanto. You try it. Monsanto has tons of open pollinated seed, yet George Ball, owner of Burpee, says in his blogs, (Heron's voice?), that Monsanto's seed company holdings are only a miniscule part of the Monsanto company. He did say last year he'd be phasing out the few monsanto varieties. Not sure if he did. Yes, I got into an argument with George Ball, kind of. But he sure is intelligent, and strong minded. I think he'll keep to his word. Seedcorn, even Burpee's is reducing to stop having any thing to do with Monsanto. But it is hard for George to do that and still have certain hybrids and varieties.
And Try going to a garden center and make sure you don't buy any Monsanto stuff. You have to look closely at the bottom of the labels, and see if any of the known Monsanto subsidiaries is on the label. There are a lot of them.
Now, if Monsanto had an actual human to come forward saying things like "yes. your food should be labelled if it has any gmo products in it. yes. we donate tons of roundup so that folks will become used to using it. yes. we encourage overpopulation so we can sell more stuff." Ya know, that would be an honest start.
From there, this real human representing Monsanto could start saying things like, "yes, we will be creating organic products such as truckloads of weed suppressing sterilized mulch from recycled paper and garbage using the proper mycorrhizae and microbes. yes, we will begin working on being responsible humans in this world, expoising our names to the world and taking respoinsibility for our formwerly greedy actions. Yes, we plan on continuing to make money and growrth, but not at the expense of taking power over humanity's food supply."
Now, when they do that kind of thing, the world becomes a better place. When Monsanto admits what they own, and what they do. I do not even know if Monsanto owns Ortho anymore. Do they? And, what companies donate so much to agricultural schools and master gardener programs, just so the voices of, what...normalness...are the lower ranked folks. Powerful invalidations of voices. The leaders turned to, well, I'll say it. (what the hay), the voiceboxes of the company that deep in their hearts they know is doing wrong.
What if you certified organic, gritted your teeth, turn your soil to life, with the same fervor you now have, and begin a multi year advancement to sustainability. Multi crop. Local market. Tell your friends who are now with you in strength, "no. i changed my mind guys! I'm going organic." watch. try that. i think a few will say things to you like," i'm gonna do that too." Really though, it'll take some time for your eyes to change direction, to get a larger vision. Right now, it is the same kind of thinking that the hunters of passenger pigeons had during the 50 years of that species decline. Just wrong. Strongly wrong. I'm no diplomat. I probably said things out of turn. Nothing here is meant to hurt your feelings. That's for certain. The initial stages of change can hurt. But watch how folks smile at you for the change!
I mean well here. Noticed nobody's said these things. so i did. Please sit and reread this several times.
I'd like to see you make a post that says you are thinking about it.
