i liked reading this: Around 300 women rural residents in Brazil burst into a property owned by the US company Monsanto and destroyed a plant nursery and crops containing genetically modified corn. the women were from the group via campesina and were protesting brazil allowing monsanto and bayer to move ahead with developing genetically modified crops (GMC). brazil legalized genetically modified crops in 2005. last month french officials banned one of the approved monsanto GMCs to be grown in brazil, MON810, after doubts over the GMC’s safety. go ladies! monsanto is evil.

i love seeing things like this very powerful ad placed in a high school newspaper. the full text of the ad reads “You can’t be all that you can be if you’re dead. There are other ways to serve your country. There are other ways to get money for college. There are other ways to be all you can be. THINK ABOUT IT. Before you sign your life away.” the full ad layout can be seen here. the controversial ad was created and paid for by an anonymous sophmore at Warwick Valley High School in New York. the student who placed the ad is a member of the Bruderhof community, a Christian-based communal order in Sugar Loaf that preaches pacifism. more power to him! the full story is available via the times -herald record online (1st view is free. 2nd view requires registration - unless you delete their cookie) and also on michael moore’s website.
